the deal with State Senator Abel Maldonado's district? There was one person
(whose name I forgot) that said he was running as a Green in 2008 in this
district, but I have not heard anything from him or anyone else since. By
anyone else, I mean from the Santa Clara, Santa Cruz, Monterey, or SLO
Greens.<BR><BR>-edward<BR></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>Wes -- You wrote about what happened in 2006. Scott
Kane, a long-time GPSCC member, attended a couple of our meetings in the last
half of 2007. He was considering running for this State Senate position,
but he is not currently a resident in that district and decided that his
personal and financial circumstances made it impractical to proceed as a
candidate.
