Ben Lapham finds the meetings of the Glens Falls Common Council "perfunctory" and suggests the unity ticket being promoted by three Republicans and three Democrats now on the board is not a good thing. He has a point. We'd much prefer some skepticism and dissension on the Common Council than a uniformity of views that lacks the energy and creativity of constructive dialogue and occasional disagreements.

  Anita Belle, a challenger in the August 8, 2017 Election, researched that 1,175 registered voters used addresses that were vacant lots owned by the Detroit Land Bank.

Elston McCowan received 37% of the vote against his Ward 2 Democratic Party opponent in 2015. The incumbent was a Democrat who had name recognition in an overwhelmingly Democrat ward of St. Louis City. This year the incumbent left to take a position in the new mayor's government and Elston is better known than the candidate nominated by the Democrats. Many in Ward 2 are fed up with the Democrats failing to stand up for their community and have shown with their votes that they are willing to break with the Democratic Party. Dozens have already signed up to work for Elston. If he wins the November 7 election, he will not only be the first Green to defeat a Democrat in a partisan Missouri race, but (likely) the first black Green to defeat a Democrat anywhere.

SAVE THE DATE: Akeem Browder for Mayor - Volunteer Orientations (10/7/17 & 10/8/17) Thanks for your interest in Akeem Browder's campaign for mayor. Although incumbent Mayor de Blasio claims to be a progressive Democrat, his actions and policies have let us down. They don't empower New York City's working class and those facing poverty. Akeem is the candidate that speaks to the masses of New Yorkers and their experiences in this diverse and global city. Together we can transform the political landscape of New York City!

The November 7 election is just around the corner – and with your help, we can chart a new course. Greens are poised to take to control of a once-great city – Syracuse, New York – and turn it into a Rust Belt recovery story whose example could instigate Green electoral insurgencies across New York State and the nation.

At the League of Women Voters debate* held on Sunday at Hofstra University, Cassandra Lems, Green Party Candidate for Nassau County Executive, announced her support of the New York Health Act.
