The Green Party candidate for California’s 29th U.S. House seat will be Bill Paparian, who was a city councilman and mayor of Pasadena between 1987 and 1999. The 29th district is now represented by Congressman Adam Schiff, a Democrat who is running for re-election. In 2004 the vote was Schiff 133,670, the Republican nominee 62,871, the Green nominee 5,715 and the Libertarian nominee 4,570. Paparian advocates bringing U.S. troops home from Iraq; he says Schiff has been too supportive of U.S. policy.
