Green Party declares independence from influence of special interest money, unveils slate of ‘independent candidates' at State Convention in Fullerton this weekend
FULLERTON, CA – Billing itself as the most "independent" political party in the state – in stark contrast to Democrats and Republicans, who voters are increasingly shunning – the Green Party of California will hold a major pre-election state convention here Saturday and Sunday.
A PRESS CONFERENCE featuring many of the party's state and congressional candidates will be held at 12:30 p.m. SATURDAY at the Fullerton Dancesport Center/Imperial Ballroom (114 E. Commonwealth Ave.). Press can call for alternative availabilities.
Thirty-four Greens are on the ballot throughout California Nov. 2, including seven up for state offices from the Governor to State Treasurer. One Green is running for U.S. Senator, five for the House of Representatives, five for State Assembly (all in the South State) and the remainder for school boards, rent boards and other local offices.
About 40 Greens hold elected office in the state, including five mayors (Gayle McLaughlin is running for re-election in Richmond, a city of more than 100,000), and Greens dominate several city councils in the north state, including Fairfax and Sonoma.
"The Green Party is truly different. It's independent of special interests. The two ‘Titanic' parties are mired in big money influence, and govern according to those special interests, and not in the best interests of the people," said Laura Wells, the Green candidate for Governor.
