The Sierra Club named a new national political director on Wednesday.

The green group tapped Melissa Williams for the slot. She will assume the role in the middle of March.

Williams is a former deputy director of the WOMEN VOTE! program at Emily’s List, where she headed an independent expenditure program targeting House races. The effort saw 15 of its 17 preferred candidates get elected.
