Spencer Graves to run for something<br>
</font><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>
