DC Statehood Green Party candidates to participate in the Sept. 14
primary election

WASHINGTON, DC — Seven DC Statehood Green Party candidates for public
office will participate in the September 14, 2010 primary election in
Washington, DC, with contested races for two seats.

The contested primary races are for nonvoting DC Delegate to the US
House (Eleanor Holmes Norton’s seat) and At-Large Member of DC
Council. A list of all Statehood Green candidates follows below, with
contact and web site information for each. The DC Statehood Green
Party holds major party status in the District and is affiliated with
the Green Party of the United States (http://www.gp.org).

Among the major issues that the candidates are addressing in their
campaigns are:

• The demand for democracy and statehood for the District of Columbia

• Saving public properties (schools, libraries, housing, parks,
shelters) from privatization

• Solving the District’s environmental crises (congestion, pollution,
sprawl, etc.)

• Saving the DC Public School system from plans by Mayor Fenty and
Michelle Rhee to close school facilities, fire teachers and other
personnel, shut out parents, and impose more charter schools

• The need for a progressive tax plan that relieves working people and
requires the wealthy to pay their fair share

• Development and preservation of affordable housing, especially for
low income residents; protection of diverse neighborhoods
