SCCGreens endorse Chris Demers for CA-18

The Green Party of Santa Clara County has endorsed Chris Demers for Congress in CA District 18.

The decision was made after membership discussions at our March 26th monthly meeting, and finalized  by the county council members on April 15. According to our principles and rules adopted by the Green Party of California, our county party only considers endorsements of candidates who reject corporate and superPAC donations AND are unaffiliated with any political parties that accept such donations.

Chris Demers is running as an independent (No Party Preference) and refuses to accept any donations from corporate PAC money.  In addition, the list of priorities and positions outlined on his campaign website, align very well with the values and policies of the Green Party. Chris’s education in international relations and his professional experience in worker protections, decreasing environmental footprints, and strengthening corporate codes of conduct all help his vision in serving his community.

We are happy to recommend voting for Chris Demers for congress to those in District 18 who share the Greens’ call for ending the influence of corporations, lobbyists and special interests in our elections and for holding our elected public servants accountable to our communities.
