Green Party Watch reports here that Green Party nominee Lynne Serpe, running for New York city council in the 22nd district, has a campaign budget in excess of $100,000. Serpe is a leader of the Community Environmental Center, the state’s largest non-profit energy conservation organization. It sponsors energy conservation and weatherization improvements in low-income neighborhoods.
Serpe is running against incumbent Democrat Peter F. Vallone Jr, who is the son of a former Speaker of the New York State Assembly. Councilmember Vallone is famous in New York city for his anti-grafitti work.
Serpe’s budget is as large as it is because New York city has non-discriminatory public funding for city council candidates.
Lynn Serpe was a prominent member of the cabal that engineered the nomination of David Cobb as Green Party Presidential Nominee in 2004.
Am I surprised that Serpe has 100 Grand in the Kitty ? Not in the least. As a matter of fact I wouldn’t be surprised if you told me part or all of that loot was Soros/ACORN money.
