In this episode of Climate Positive, Guy Van Syckle and Gil Jenkins sit down with Caroline Spears, Executive Director of Climate Cabinet, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting clean energy and climate policy leaders at state and local levels. These often-forgotten races are sometimes decided by a couple hundred votes and can also decide the fate of billions of dollars of decarbonization investment. Caroline explains how Climate Cabinet strategically identifies target candidates through data science and political expertise, aiming to elect climate champions with the highest potential ability to shape positive change. Through real-world examples, she demonstrates the organization's effectiveness in close political races and the tangible difference their support can make.Links<ul><li><a href="https://climatecabinet.org/">Climate Cabinet Website </a></li><li><a href="https://secure.actblue.com/donate/ccaf">Sign up for a monthly donation</a> to help Climate Cabinet find and elect the highest ROI clean energy champions in state and local elections across the U.S. </li><li><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/caroline-spears-7125408a/">Caroline Spears on LinkedIn</a></li></ul>Episode recorded on October 2, 2025
