Candidate Information

David McCorquodale
I have been an active, registered Green since 2003, a National Delegate from the Green Party of Delaware since late 2004 and a member of the Green Pages Committee since the summer of 2005.
I am also the Treasurer of the Green Party of Delaware.

My most relevant experience was serving as the Treasurer for the campaign of Michael Berg when he ran for the lone U.S. congressional seat from Delaware in 2006. I have experience dealing with the FEC and submitting the required reports to both the FEC and the state government.

Treasurers are the most important positions in political campaigns for they are the ones who have to answer to authorities if accounting problems occur. My experience could be helpful in communicating what pitfalls to avoid.

Matthew Lavery
I am eager for an opportunity to serve the Party by
working on the House Campaign Committee. I hope to bring
to the committee key elements of the foreign (Green Party
of England and Wales) campaigns on which I have worked,
particularly targeting and framing strategies. For a more
detailed overview of my thoughts on the role of ³branding²
and ³leadership² in campaign strategy, please view a talk
given to the Babylon Town (N.Y.) Green Gathering on 2 July
