The "Signatures-in-lieu" petitions to run against Feinstein or
Lofgren were available Dec. 30 and are due Feb. 23. Petitions for
Green Party County Council were available Feb. 13 and carry a
deadline of March 9. <br>

only be realistic if I were to pay the $3500 or $1740 and

I believe Carol's deadline would be Feb. 23. If the incumbent
decided not to run, then the deadline for others gets extended by a
week or so. <br>

[GPSCC-chat] Spencer Graves to run for something<br>
</font></div>
<br>
Hello, All:<br>
<br>
<br>
I decided today I should run for something, but I have
not yet decided what. According to information I received
today at the offices of the Santa Clara County Registrar of
Voters, the only offices on the June 5 ballot for which I
would be eligible to run are against US Senator Feinstein,
US Representative Lofgren and City Councilperson Olivario.
There are four other offices I could potentially contest
this year. All four will appear on the November ballot but
not the June ballot (San José Evergreen Community College
District plus Open Space, Flood Control, and Water
District).<br>
<br>
<br>
SANTA CLARA GREEN PARTY COUNTY COUNCIL: Who all said they
would run for Green Party County Council? I picked up the
form today at the office of the Santa Clara County Registrar
of Voters, and I will fax it to whomever else has agreed to
run but has not yet filed the paperwork to do so. We need
to all sign the form and deliver said form to one person,
who will then go to the Registrar of Voters and get the
necessary form for collecting signatures. That form can
then be scanned and sent to anyone willing to collect
signatures. Signed forms then need to be collected by
someone who will file the forms with the Registrar of Voters
by March 9.<br>
<br>
<br>
SCHOOL BOARDS, WATER DISTRICT, FLOOD CONTROL: These offices
have candidates on the November ballot but NOT on the June 5
ballot. The filing period for these offices is July 16 -
August 10. I think I want to run for something on the June
ballot. If I do not get in the top 2, then I want to run
for one of these offices, probably the San Jose / Evergreen
Community College District board of trustees.<br>
<br>
<br>
OFFICES ON THE JUNE 5 BALLOT:<br>
<br>
<br>
* Anyone running against Sen. Feinstein needs to
collect at least 40 signatures and pay a fee of $3,480 by
Feb. 23. If we submit by that date 10,000 valid signatures,
we do not have to pay the fee. This is probably out of the
question.<br>
<br>
<br>
* My US representative is Zoe Lofgren. I don't have
the minimum number of signatures, but it's probably at least
20. The fee is $1,740, and 3,000 valid signatures could be
filed in lieu of the fee. The deadline is Feb. 23, as for
the Senate.<br>
<br>
<br>
* I could run against Pierluigi Olivario for City
Council. I don't know the fee or have the number of
signatures and deadline required for this; I can get that
Monday from the City Council's office.<br>
<br>
