Dear Friend,
I’m just back from the Green Party Annual National Meeting in Newark, NJ, where I endorsed powerhouse Seth Kaper-Dale in his run for Governor.
As one of only two governor races this year, Seth's run in 2017’s biggest election is a breakthrough moment for Greens everywhere.
The “Sopranos” state’s 2-party mafia is strong-arming Seth into raising $430,000 by August 31st in order to get in to the debates and to receive matching funds. That’s more than four times the $100,000 I had to raise to qualify for federal matching funds in my run for president!
It's no wonder they're trying to keep Seth's formidable voice out of the debates. If this giant of social justice is heard, politics will never be the same - and not just in New Jersey.
Seth is running New Jersey’s strongest Green Party campaign ever. As an activist pastor for 16 years, Seth has achieved near mythical status in his expansive social justice work - preventing deportations, building affordable housing, providing re-entry support, promoting community economic development, youth programs, Hurricane Sandy reconstruction and more. Seth’s a national leader in efforts to end solitary confinement, and interfaith work to stop the use of torture.
Seth's competition make this race a perfect storm for change. His Republican opponent is Lt. Governor for the least liked governor in New Jersey history, Chris Christie. His Democratic opponent is a former Goldman Sachs executive who spent $20 million on the primaries (mostly from his own checkbook) but still fell short of a majority of Democratic voters.
And believe me, a revolution in New Jersey won't stay in New Jersey! It will soon be coming to lift up a neighborhood near you.
Please join me in supporting the #OnlyProgressiveRunning for Governor in 2017.
Together, we can create a world that works for all of us.
With your help, it's in our hands!
Jill Stein
