CT: Green Party Running Slate of Citizen Candidates

From the Hartford Courant:

The Connecticut Green Party's slate of candidates includes a teacher, an investment adviser and a retired state Department of Environmental Protection employee. "Millionaires and celebrities get all the attention," said Tim McKee, a spokesman for Connecticut Greens and a member of the party's national committee. "We want to get more average people running for office, but it's becoming harder and harder. ... It's a millionaires' club." This year, the Green Party has candidates for attorney general, secretary of the state, treasurer and comptroller. It has no candidate for governor at this point.
