An End to Politics As Usual: Local Green Party Fields Strong Slate of Candidates for November 2006
Candidates, all of whom have received the official endorsement of the SFGP, are as follows:
Krissy Keefer, Congressional District 8 http://www.krissyforcongress.com/
Barry Hermanson, Assembly District 12 http://www.barryhermanson.org/
Emily Drennan, BART Board http://www.emilydrennen.org/
Jane Kim, School Board, http://www.janekim.org/
Kim Knox, School Board, http://www.kimknox.com/
John Rizzo, School Board http://www.johnrizzoforcollegeboard.com/
Bruce Wolfe, School Board http://brucewolfe.net/citycollegeboard/
Greens are expected to do particularly well in local races, where others such as Ross Mirkarimi and Mark Sanchez have been successful. It is a strategy of building the party from the bottom up, as was mentioned by Matt Gonzalez the night he conceded his race for Mayor of San Francisco.
Candidate platforms express similar themes of transparent government, greater accountability, and a sustainable future.
