Camejo to Run for California Governor

LOS ANGELES - Peter Camejo, an independent vice
presidential candidate in 2004, said Wednesday
that he intends to run for governor of
California.  
 
Camejo plans to submit papers Thursday in
Sacramento to run as a Green Party candidate,
said a spokesman, Cres Vellucci. Camejo was the
party's nominee for governor in 2002 and 2003.

"He believes there needs to be a viable
alternative" to major party candidates, Vellucci
said.

If he qualifies for the ballot, Camejo would be a
long shot. He received about 3 percent of the
vote in the 2003 recall election that installed
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in office.

As a gubernatorial candidate in California,
Camejo has supported abortion rights, universal
health care and a moratorium on the death
penalty. Camejo also ran for president as the
Socialist Workers Party nominee in 1976.

In the 2004 presidential campaign, Camejo ran on
the ticket headed by Ralph Nader.
