[GPCA-SGA-Votes] Discuss ID 145: GPCA endorsement for Governor

[Anthony Krzywicki]

Another major concern is breaking up our parties voting base.  We need to
all get behind someone and that someone hopefully will reach out and get
votes from independents, progressives and possibly bernicrats.  Otherwise
were not in itvto win it, so then whats the point?  We have a such a small
percentage of green voters to make a win, why should we split that?

Also i beliwve that this process should be started 6 months ago, so we
could already be backing a unified candidate.
