The Green Party said today that it would filed a candidate in the 19th Congressional District (Capital District /Hudson Valley). The incumbent Chris Gibson announced he will not seek re-election. “A Green running on a platform of living wages jobs for all, single-payer universal health care, transitioning to a 100% renewable economy, ending mass government surveillance, stopping our foreign wars, fully funding our public educational system and making public college free will find a large base of support. Our experience last year with Matt Funiciello in NY-21 shows that people are ready for a candidate that articulates the interests of working people, not Wall St. Matt’s 11% after being outspent 70-1 is simply a baseline from which Green candidates in this region will grow, and we look forward to the race in NY-19″ said Upper Hudson Green Party member and Green Exec Committeeperson Peter LaVenia.
