Hello, the Green Party has been my party since around 1992. Since moving to Alameda County in 1998 I have become more active during elections, walking precincts and making phone calls. More recently I worked on Green Party member, Don Macleay's campaign for mayor here in Oakland. Since then I have joined a newly formed outreach and communications committee to restart the Oakland Greens. Our plan is to grow the party through outreach and voter registration, hopefully also increasing involvement of those currently Green identified. My party connections and support at the county level are good but I am not currently active at the state or national level. I have participated in my union as a shop steward and I am active in meetings as an adult advisor with a Unitarian Universalist youth group (they are really smart so I don't have to do all that much!).

With the current balloting system in California we will need to redouble our efforts to promote and sustain the California Green Party. I hope I can help in some small way by involving myself as an alternate. I look forward to the teleconferences and other duties.
