SF Green Party Statement on Senate Candiates
The Green Party of California has a contested primary in the race for US Senate. While our three candidates have similar positions on the issues, they differ in their backgrounds and proposed campaign strategies. Rather than endorsing a single candidate, the SF Green Party is providing the following brief summary in order to help voters in the Green primary choose which of the three they prefer as our candidate in the November election. The candidates are listed in a randomly chosen order:

Tian Harter (http://tianharter.org/) is known among Greens for his 1-minute speech on climate change, accompanied by his "Mend Your Fuelish Ways" bumper stickers. He has been registered Green since 1991. If he wins the primary, he will participate in local Green campaigns and educate voters about climate change and the end of cheap oil.

Todd Chretien (http://www.todd4senate.org/) is well known for his activism with the International Socialist Organization, and has been registered Green since 2004. He has raised over $30,000 and plans to aggressively raise money to run a highly visible campaign as part of the "Million Votes for Peace" slate.

Kent Mesplay (http://www.mesplay.org/) ran for President in 2004 in the Green Party primary as an alternative to both David Cobb and Ralph Nader. He has been registered Green since 1995, and has raised over $1000 for his campaign to date. The main goals of his campaign will be to increase voter registration and promote Green issues.

All three candidates have accepted an invitation to speak at our forum at Studio Z on May 24 (314 11th St @ Folsom, starting at 7 PM).

Also endorsed:

Oakland City Council District 2: Aimee Alison http://www.aimeeallison.org/
