More on Eva & Ralph

Eva Ince is just getting her campaign going, has ordered stickers and buttons, and now needs people to get the word out. Since no meeting place was designated in time, she's not coming to Fairbanks on the 5th of June as originally planned; instead, she'll be at the Anchorage Barnes & Noble, and is calling on Chicks with Sticks and other Green knitters to come and meet her there.

Ralph may have some competition, after all--but still not from the Democrats. Rumor has it that there's a Green who may run for Senate District D: Ester, UAF, Fairbanks, Ferry, Denali, Healy, Nenana, and Cantwell areas. (It is utterly astonishing to me that Seekins ever got elected to this district in the first place. I can see Cantwell, but elsewhere? I'm boggled.)

But there's still today and tomorrow left...

More to come!

Eva Ince, candidate for U.S. House

Eva Ince, who declared last Tuesday for U.S. Representative is planning on coming to Fairbanks to meet with the Tanana-Yukon Greens June 5.

No Dem in District D

So far, the Alaska Greens have only one or two possible candidates, both for U.S. Congress. However, there are several important races at state level in which the Democrats have as yet been unable to find candidates, among them Ralph Seekins' district, Senate District D, right here in River City.

One would think, with Seekins' track record, that a Democrat would be a shoo-in.

Still, nobody seems to have time. I spoke with a certain to-remain-anonymous Democratic organizer, who said that they might be willing to work with us if they can't find a candidate, so long as we have a reasonable candidate. A viable, reasonable candidate would have to be someone well known, articulate, respected in the community, business-savvy, politically astute, and willing to work his or her buns off in a campaign.

So, any takers out there?
