An Introduction from Jia Lee
My name is Jia Lee and I'm seeking the Green Party nomination for Lieutenant Governor. I hope to meet you at the convention on Saturday, where I will formally request the nomination, but I also wanted to introduce myself to those who can't make it.
I have been a New York City special education public school teacher for seventeen years and UFT chapter leader for ten years. I am also a proud public school parent. I am proud to be a member of a caucus within the United Federation of Teachers called the Movement of Rank and File Educators (MORE). Besides opting my child out of the state tests, I organize with other parents and educators in New York City and across the state to expose the harmful impact of high stakes standardized testing.

Manley to run for School Board
Elijah Manley to file for qualification to run for School Board, At-Large Seat #8 for the elections of August 28th, 2018
Fort Lauderdale, Florida – Elijah Manley has been running for the school board of Broward County, At-large Seat #8 since February 2017. Manley is the youngest candidate to run for school board in the county’s history, at age 19. He has raised more than $10k as of April 2018, to challenge incumbent school board member Donna Pilger Korn. As one of the youngest candidates to run in the 2018 elections, Mr. Manley has had his fair share of ageism, political attacks and smears. However, he has chosen to remain in this race in the wake of high political polarization and welcomes Mr. Ryan Petty and others to the race.

The Contradictions of Cross-Endorsements in the Governor's Race
That didn't take long. On Saturday, April 13 the Working Families Party endorsed Democrat Cynthia Nixon for New York Governor. By the following Tuesday, the WFP said they didn't really mean it.
"We will not be a spoiler," said Bill Lipton, the WFP's political director, indicating that the WFP will take Nixon off its ballot line if she loses the Democratic primary against Governor Andrew Cuomo. Perhaps the WFP will offer Cuomo their ballot line for a third time if he wins the Democratic primary – if he will take it.
