Pinal County Greens Endorse Green Party Candidate Mary DeCamp for Tucson Mayor


Apache Junction, Ariz., Sept. 1, 2011 -

The Pinal County Greens today passed a resolution congratulating Mary DeCamp on her overwhelming victory in the Green Party primary on Tuesday and enthusiastically supporting her candidacy for Mayor of Tucson.

"As Tucson's first Green and first female mayor, Mary DeCamp will boldly adress the economic and environmental issues facing the city," said Pinal County Greens co-chair Richard Grayson. "The initiatives she proposes will help create hundreds of small and mid-sized local businesses which are the economic engine that can create thousands of living-wage jobs for Tucson's working families."

"We congratulate Mary on her primary win and will do everything we can to support her campaign to be Tucson mayor," said the resolution of the Pinal County Greens, members of the Green Party in Pinal County, which includes some Tucson suburbs. "Mary DeCamp's background in politics, education and community service make her far superior to the Republican and Democratic candidates in this race."
