The Tompkins County Green Party will meet next Tuesday, June 21, at 7:00 PM in Stewart Park in Ithaca, just outside the large pavilion next to Cayuga Lake. All Tompkins County residents who are registered with the Green Party are urged to attend, as new officers will be elected and a new slate of local candidates will be discussed.

If the Green Party can gain 50,000 votes for their candidate for Governor, then the Green Party will have an automatic place on the ballot for qualifying candidates. That’s not a guarantee of electoral success, but it will make electoral success easier.
