We discuss the current state of the Green Party. Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein raised more than $7 million to pursue a swing state recount from the election. This week, the Daily Beast reported that Stein has been spending that money on herself and her staff. It's a rough headline for a party that was hoping to use the 2016 election to grow its base, but local Greens say they are focused on local elections and the state.
We talk about what could be ahead for the party in 2018 with members of the Green Party:
- Alex White, treasurer for the Monroe County Green Party
- Dave Sutliff-Atias, co-chair of the Monroe County Green Party
- Mark Dunlea, Green Party candidate for New York State Comptroller, and co-founder of the Green Party in New York State
