(October 04, 2002) For the first time in recent history, the Green Party of Santa Clara County is endorsing candidates in the Mountain View City Council election. The Greens have decided to support Matt Neely and Greg Perry for two of the three open four-year seats and Bruce Karney for the two-year term.
According to Stephanie Schaaf, head of the endorsement committee, three additional candidates responded to a survey put out by the Greens: Rosiland Bivings, Mike Kasperzak and Chris Kuszmaul.
The Greens intended the surveys to serve purely as voter information but "were very excited" about endorsing Neely, Perry, and Karney in addition, said Schaaf. Survey questions covered the Moffett Field redevelopment project's effects on housing and wetlands, instant runoff voting, a living wage, affordable housing and experience in the community.
Karney, a registered Green since 1992, demonstrated concern for the jobs and housing imbalance and the lack of affordable housing, Schaaf said, adding that Neely spoke to the issues of affordable housing and a living wage, and Perry was noted by the Greens for his work against pesticide use.
The Greens will only do endorsements in non-partisan races because it is a political party, added Schaaf.
