PHILADELPHIA – The Green Party of Philadelphia (GPOP) decries Mayor Kenney’s unconsidered and tired response to replacing the vacated minority party seat on the City Commission with more of the same: Republican Seth Bluestein. The Green Party is the only one of the minority parties in the city putting forward a replacement candidate, in this case, the extraordinarily well-qualified Richard Garella, co-founder and director of Protecting Our Vote.
