TX: 21 Greens to Run for Office in 2010

At Green Party Watch, Ronald Hardy writes:

The Green Party of Texas has announced that 21 Greens have filed to run for office in 2010, from Governor to four candidates for County Clerk. This looks like a great field, and a great year to do it.  If the GP of Texas can get the signatures to qualify for the ballot, a 5% showing in a state wide race would secure ballot access for the Green Party in Texas through 2012.

From the GPTX press release, which lists the individual candidates:

The Green Party of Texas announces that 21 candidates have filed to run for nomination by the Green Party in 2010 for a variety of state, district and county offices.  Thomas Muhammad, Co-chair of GPTX, spoke on the quality of the candidates as a whole. "The Green Party of Texas is extremely excited about the wonderful slate of candidates who've put themselves up for our 2010 election cycle. We look forward to an aggressive campaign through the June convention. We will then work with our final slate to run hard as our party moves to break the dominating two-party system in our state. This is the type of work our party was created for, so we say to all Greens and to Texans one and all who love true democracy let the campaign season begin!"
