Gayle McLaughlin may not be running as Green, but she has been Green in the past and shares our values. I move that we endorse her. -----Original Message----- From: Mike Feinstein <mfeinstein@feinstein.org> To: GPCA Discussion List for SGA Votes <gpca-votes@sfgreens.org> Sent: Sun, Mar 25, 2018 11:52 am Subject: Re: [GPCA-SGA-Votes] Discuss ID 146: GPCA endorsement for Lt.

Isn’t Gayle McLaughlin, as an independent, on the ballot? She’s worth a ballot line. Jeff Lebow OC Green Sent from my iPhone

First of all, none of these so-called ‘endorsements’ of non-Greens are valid, because the rule change that would effectuate this is not in place now, and hence there is no basis for the SGA administrators to place non-Greens on the current SGA ballot. There is just no way around that. So we are all wasting our time voting on any race that isn’t the Gov and SoS race, where at least there are Greens running.
Second, one of the ironies with the proposal that would change the endorsement rules, is that it says that the GPCA could not endorse any candidates that are members of parties that take corporate donations - yet Gayle Mclaughlin has done just that, endorsing a Democrat in the 2018 SoS race.
That endorsement isn’t meaningless. In fact it could cost the GPCA its ballot status.
The SoS race is where the GPCA is most likely to get 2%, as there are 28 candidates in the Gov race, but only eight for SoS.
The McLaughlin campaign is targeting people who are our base, and is emailing to them aggressively, including her endorsement of a Democrat in the SoS race.
So while she is only reaching a small percent of the electorate with her campaign, she is reaching a much larger percent of people likely to vote Green.
If we do not get 2% in the SoS race, in 2020 the Sanders prez campaign (or whomever else is the lesser evil in the D primary) will again aggressively pursue registered Greens to unregister Green to vote in the D primary.
We lost 30% of our membership to the Sanders campaign in 2016. If we lose another 30% in 2020, and we don’t get 2% in a statewide race in 2018, we’ll be off the ballot.
Great alliance building, huh?

I don't think Green membership is down because of the 2016 race. In fact, I happen to know that even though a lot of people registered Dem to vote in the primary, more people registered Green AFTER the primary than left. There are a ton of #DemExiters in the Green Party now, including myself. And I don't think its correct that McLaughlin has taken corporate money. -----Original Message----- From: Cynthia Santiago <miss.cynthia.santiago@gmail.com> To: GPCA Discussion List for SGA Votes <gpca-votes@sfgreens.org> Sent: Fri, Mar 30, 2018 12:58 pm Subject: Re: [GPCA-SGA-Votes] Discuss ID 146: GPCA endorsement for Lt.
