ILLINOIS GREEN PARTY FILES RECORD NUMBER OF CANDIDATES
By the end of today's slating deadline, the Illinois
Green Party expects to have some 60 candidates for
offices across the state, concluding a major statewide
recruiting effort for candidates at federal, state and
county levels.
Since the slating period began in early March, the
party has added 7 candidates for U.S. Congress and 1
candidate for U.S. Senate for a total of 15 federal
legislative offices. A total of 16 state legislative
candidates were added for a total of 19. At the county
level, the party recruited 10 new candidates,
including 5 in Cook County, to bring the total to 26
county candidates across the state.
Illinois ballots will also feature a presidential
candidate chosen at the Green Party National
Convention in Chicago, July 10-13, 2008.
"Our hard work to establish the party in 2006 has led
to the Green Party becoming more competitive in 2008,"
said Rich Whitney, the 2006 Green Party candidate for
governor, who received more 10% of the vote. "I'm
encouraged by not only the number of candidates, but
the high caliber of candidates for offices at all
levels of government."
