The Green Party announced Monday it will run two candidates for the City Council and one for the Board of Education. 
Robert Stuller, a software writer who serves on the Conservation Commission, and Andy Derr, a carpenter who specializes in historical restoration, make up the council slate. Derr is the former chairman of the city's Historic District Commission. 
Kenric Hanson of Ocean Avenue is running for the Board of Education. He has volunteered on the school district's science curriculum committee, the curriculum standards committee, and as a math and literacy tutor. 
Stuller said Monday that the party is emphasizing development based on revitalization, rather than the tearing down of older neighborhoods such as Fort Trumbull. 
“We want to change the style of development in the city from the clear-cut philosophy that hasn't worked,” Stuller said. “We need to start doing infill development, preserving our neighborhoods by upgrading the homes instead of leveling them.”
