On January 30, Green Party Candidate Jeremy Cloward of Pleasant Hill, will declare his intention to run for California’s 10th Congressional Seat (CA-10) seat now held by Democrat Rep. John Garamendi of Walnut Grove, somewhere near Sacramento, CA.
Rep. Garamendi was elected in September to fill the vacancy created when then Democratc incumbent Rep. Ellen Tauscher of Alamo,resigned the seat to become Undersecretary for Arms Control and International Security.
Jeremy Cloward is campaigning to promote a “more just and equal society,”
“The issues that are important to all of us, such as single payer healthcare, education, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, need to be addressed by people and a party that are actually willing to address them. However, what has become clear is that the Democratic and Republican parties are not only unwilling but unable to address any one of these issues in any meaningful way.”
Cloward accepts no corporate contributions,
“This is a campaign that is run by the voters, for the voters that openly rejects corporate control over the political system which has benefited the few at the expense of the people.”
The Cloward for Congress Kick-Off is scheduled for January 30, from 1:00pm to 4:00pm, at the Round Table Pizza at 2960 Treat Boulevard, in Concord. The event is free, and is open to the public.
