LA COUNTY GREENS CELEBRATE
PASADENA CITY COLLEGE RACE VICTORY
Los Angeles County Greens congratulate
Pasadena Green Hilary Bradbury-Huang on her impressive victory
to the Pasadena Area Community College Board of Governors
on November 8th.
Bradbury-Huang won with 51.12%
of the vote in a two-way race, defeating a 27-year incumbent
to become the seventh Green currently holding elected office
in Los Angeles County.
"I am excited to be replacing
a 27-year incumbent, because it will allow me to bring a
sustainability agenda to light for students at Pasadena City
College," said Bradbury-Huang.
A professor at USC and Pepperdine
University, Bradbury-Huang campaigned on listening more to
students and teachers, and to be willing to question the
College administration when necessary.
Her door to door grassroots
campaign reached almost every voter in her district, which
contains the communities of South Pasadena, San Marino and
Temple City, and she was supported in this effort by the
Arroyo Seco Greens, the local Green group in her area, according
to group coordinator Tera Little.
Bradbury-Huang joins Santa Monica
Rent Control Board member Jeff Sklar, four Green members
of neighborhood councils in the City of Los Angeles and a
Green town council advisory member in an unincorporated part
of Los Angeles County, as Green officeholders in the County.
As of November 9th, 25,513 people were registered Green in
Los Angeles County, the most in any county in the nation,
and more than in any other state except New York.
Overall, four of the five California
Greens won ran on November 8th won their races, bringing
to 66 the number of Greens currently holding elected office
across the state. Nationally, over 220 Greens hold elected
office, with at least 36 winning elected office in 2005.
