History has been made this election year in Tucson!
First time ever Tucson had a city-wide Primary Election on the Green Party ballot! Only time in history when the Green Party had a Primary contest while the 2 major parties were unable to get more than a single name on THEIR ballot (and Repubs couldn't even swing that ~ they had to rely on a write-in campaign). Ground-breaking political role-modeling when the Green Party combined campaigns following the Primary and Dave Croteau took on the management of the DeCamp For Mayor Campaign. Never before has the Green Party been able to qualify for the City of Tucson's clean-elections-clone Matching Funds for elections, but we did it this year!
We had national news coverage of a local race - both Pacifica Radio & Reuters covered Mary's 2011 mayoral race.
It was a history making campaign with the Green Party mayoral candidate operating from a tent as part of the international movement to Occupy Everything.
