Council
members:
- Lynda Hernandez
As
a committed Green, will continue working to educate the general public
about the issues I feel most passionate - protecting last open space
of Orange County, protecting the food chain (GMO issue and importance
of organic food), spotlighting folly of antimissile defense system (and
redirecting budget allocation to social equity programs), instituting
a living wage in California and protecting old growth trees.
My
mode of operation is to work as a team member to support other Greens
and progressives and to move from the local to the global. Gained invaluable
experience while organizing tabling during Nader campaign - creating
a dialog in the streets to begin to change the existing mindset. Come
from entrepreneurial background as small business owner and single mother
(achieving more with less). Look forward to working with each one of
you.
- Bob Hill
Democracy
is based on choice, and there just aren't enough choices. Growing the
Green Party is key to building political diversity, changing our political
system and promoting Green values. As a member of the Orange County
Green Party County Council, I will be dedicated to promoting party growth,
as well as issues affecting our daily lives - safe food, tenants rights,
non-violence, nuclear disarmament, and a safe, clean, sustainable environment.
I have supported and demonstrated passionately for these issues. I am
an Engineer, 30 year Orange County resident and parent, and have the
experience, energy and passion to build the party to provide the diversity
our democracy needs.

As
a Chinese born in Taiwan who looks more like a Filipina/Thai and has
even been addressed as "senorita" now and then and who is
married to an Irishman, I hope the Green Party will elect me to our
Council to win over the hearts of Orange County's population!As a member
of the GPOC, I will accelerate creation of a quarterly newsletter for
the Orange County Green Party, will work for a united front of progressive
communities and to prioritize our common goals.
I became a U.S. Citizen May 26, 2000 and registered as a Green
Party Member in June, 2000. I was active in Nader 2000 Campaign events,
hosted an Orange County Growing Greens meeting and drafted a GPOC newsletter.
I'm an engineer by profession, earned my M.Sc. at Imperial College,
London and my BA at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. I speak fluent
English and Chinese.
- Sandy Hill
A member
of the Orange County Green Party since 1998 and resident of Orange County
since 1971, I have participated actively in support of issues relevant
to local, state and federal as well as global concerns.My education
and background in the arts have helped shape my social-environmental-political
views and have served to deepen my determination to become involved
in the efforts of the Green Party to create a more just and democratic
society.
If
I am elected to serve as a member of the Orange County Green Party County
Council, I will continue to work towards furthering the outreach of
community-based, grassroots campaigns that inform and educate citizens
and that encourage active political participation. While the overarching
goal of my term, if elected, will be to broaden the base of registered
Green Party members, I will continue to work actively on behalf of issues
reflecting
Green Party Values. I look forward to serving alongside my fellow
Green Party members.
- John Earl
A researcher
and organizer for the Hotel Employees & Restaurant Employees Union,
Local 681, I play a key role in the H.E.R.E. For Justice campaign, fighting
to protect the right of Orange County's hotel workers to belong to a
union. As a member of the Green Party County Council, I will draw from
my experience to organize Greens around labor issues. By actively joining
Orange County's labor movement, Greens will help workers and receive
their support in return.
- Matt Leslie
As
your current alternate regional representative to the Green Party of
California for Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties I can
offer the leadership experience and perspective invaluable to the responsibilities
of a county council member. I am a lifelong Southern Californian deeply
interested in securing a healthy environment, campaign finance reform,
preservation of open space and wildlife habitats, social justice, and
a sane, sustainable energy policy for my home state. For years I have
worked directly with local communities in my profession as curator of
a prominent Orange County cultural center. I will apply this experience
to building a strong grass roots foundation to foster the growth of
the Green Party in Orange County and to help to fulfill its promise
to become a vital force in local, state, and national politics.
- Duane Roberts
I
help foster the growth of the Green Party in Orange County and to help
to fulfill its promise to become a vital force in local, state, and
national politics.
I have three priorities:
- Organize the Green Party around those issues which have mass
appeal to working people such as affordable housing, universal healthcare,
etc.|
- Forge strong relationships with progressive forces within labor
unions, civic groups, environmental organizations, and the latino
community.
- Develop a strategy to identify and recruit Green Party members
as candidates for city council and school board races that are winnable.
