Dear NC member:

Congratulations to Cara Jennings in Florida! ... and all of the hard working Greens that helped her to get elected. She is the first newly elected green in 2006! She was elected today to the Lake Worth City Commission, Seat 2 District 2 in Palm Beach County Florida. 

She received 1,589 votes for 61.7%. What is really amazing is that just three short weeks ago in the March 7th primary she had finished second with 737 votes for 29%. A combination of a hard working campaign team with the fact that her opponent seemed intent on disqualifying themselves for office (appears to be a lot of that going around in the two major parties...) she gained an amazing amount of ground to go on to win the runoff!

Party time tonight in Florida!

In Service:

Brent McMillan, Political Director

Green Party of the United States
