Why does the Green party even exist? Am I really expected to
support a candidate if they can’t put
any more effort into their campaign than this?
That is the official campaign website. The page was created on February 20th and there
has not been a single update since then. And when they created the page, they
provided no information about their candidate. The entire campaign appears to
be 5 pictures (though that one of him picking up a turtle makes a strong case).
I would wish Brandon Parmer good luck, but I am starting to question whether he even knows he is a candidate for governor of Texas.
UPDATE: A fourth candidate on the ballot is the Green Party's Brandon M. Parmer of Dallas, but he has not raised money or campaigned since being chosen at the party's convention in April in Houston. The telephone number listed on his campaign report to the Texas Ethics Commission now belongs to someone else.
ReplyDelete"We have all lost contact with him," said David Wager, treasurer for the Harris County Green Party and past co-chairman of the Green Party of Texas. "He started really excited and sounded like he was going to be working hard. ...We're kind of disappointed."
My favorite Greens:
ReplyDeleteUS Senate - Emily "Spicybrown" Sanchez – physical therapist assistant/slam poet
Governor - Brandon Parmer – unemployed enigmatic hippie/ghost
Lieutenant Governor - Chandrakantha Courtney - vocalist, composer, and teacher of Indian music
Comptroller of Public Accounts - Deb Shafto - 1 dog, 7 cats
Commissioner of Agriculture - Kenneth Kendrick – Big Peanut opponent
US Representative District 35 - kat swift – “For the last three years I have been navigating the supposed social safety-net and legal system in an attempt to survive.”
