State Green Party wins mayor spot, may put 2 on SF Board of Supervisors, and amass at least 5 wins statewide after Tuesday's election SACRAMENTO ? The Green Party will assume the No. 1 elected office in another California city, and may yet have two members on the powerful San Francisco Board of Supervisors after preliminary results were announced for Tuesday's election. Greens, who already hold about 50 elected posts throughout the state, claimed at least five victories, including one for mayor, one for the SF Board of Supervisors. . Bruce Delgado, a former city councilperson in Marina in Monterey County, garnered 2,401 votes, or 51.92 percent of the vote to become mayor of Marina in Monterey County. He joins other Green Party mayors ? elected Richmond Mayor Gayle McLaughlin and Craig Litwin, appointed mayor in Sebastopol. In San Francisco, incumbent Ross Mirkarimi retained his spot on the Board of Supervisors with a whopping 77 percent of the vote. Mark Sanchez, current president of the SF Board of Education, was second in his district race for the board, but tens of thousands of votes are yet to be counted, and ranked choice voting may push him into a seat. In other statewide Green Party wins Tuesday, Jesse Townley won a spot on the Berkeley Rent Stabilization Board in Berkeley; John Selawsky retained his seat on the Berkeley School Board; and Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap was re-elected to the Humboldt Municipal Water District Board. Elsewhere, Ivan Olsen amassed 27 percent, but finished second for Gonzalez (Monterey County) mayor. Linda Piera-Avila and Jon Mann collected six percent of the vote in the Santa Monica City Council race, but failed to win a seat. And, Bob Nanninga (Encinitas) just missed earning a spot on the City Council in Encinitas with nearly 11 percent of the vote. Six Greens were on the ballot for a the House of Representatives. Carol Wolman amassed 10.13 percent in CD 1 along the coast, Peter Myers (CD 15) had 4.9 percent, Carol Brouillet (CD 14) 3.5 percent, tom Lash (CD 46) 2.8 percent, Barry Hermanson (CD12) 2.1 percent. Jack Lindblad won 8.1 percent in the California Assembly (39th AD) race, Bruce Wolfe had 10.1 percent, but failed to win a spot on the San Francisco City College Board.

The party also congratulated Barack Obama on his election to the White House today, and celebrated the election of America's first African American President. "Even though we competed with Sen. Obama for votes in the presidential race, we're thrilled that voters have elected an African American President, something unimaginable a generation ago.? We're just as thrilled that our own presidential ticket -- Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente are two women of African descent, and Ms. Clemente is Black Puerto Rican -- represented the voices of so many Americans who've been shut out of the system," said Clyde Shabazz, Green candidate for Congress in Michigan's 14th District. Greens noted that voters expressed a mandate for change in the hope that President-elect Obama would follow through on his pledge of "Change We Can Believe In" and reverse the dangerous direction that the country has taken. "Voters who were motivated by Barack Obama's message of change will now have to fight if they really want change to take place during the next four years," said Jill Bussiere, co-chair of the Green Party of the United States.? "Rosa Clemente, our candidate for Vice President, talked about the Green Party's 'imperative' throughout the campaign. The Green Imperative will move forward during the Obama Administration, as people demand that change be more than a campaign slogan."

Message-ID: <159403.25217.qm@web53903.mail.re2.yahoo.com> FW: ATTENDEES: Michael Borenstein (co-co), Richard Gomez, Ellen Maisen (co-co), Paul Seger, Tim Smith, Sharon Peterson NEXT CALL: Monday, 12/22, 7:30pm. (REQUEST: Please invite someone from your County!) =PRIORITIES= VOTER REGISTRATION: The Green Party is down to some 118,000 registered voters. If we go down below 1% of the voters in the last gubernatorial election, we'll lose ballot status! Tim Smith says we need to do a 1991-style registration drive, this time to stay on the ballot rather than get on it in the first place. LOBBYING: Paul Seger suggested that we start legislative watches. Greens would follow bills and attend hearings around the state, presenting a unified message. Two bills for potential starters would be SB-375 (Transportation Planning) and AB-32 (Greenhouse Gases). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ You're receiving this note because you are subscribed to the GPCA Grassroots Working Group (GROW) mailing list.
