Green Party’s Greta Browne Endorses Sam Bennett

Green Party member Greta Browne, who has occasionally run for Congress, has endorsed Democratic candidate Sam Bennett. In 2004, as a declared candidate, Browne dropped out on election eve, throwing her support to Democrat Joe Driscoll.

“I am so honored to have Greta’s support. Our district can’t afford another two years of Congressman Dent,” said Bennett. “With Greta’s help, we can bring change to the Lehigh Valley – an economic policy that helps middle and working class families, an energy policy that focuses on renewable energy, and an environmental policy that reverses the impact of global climate change."

Charlie Dent's campaign manager, Shawn Millan, notes this endorsement demonstrates that Bennett will embrace the "extreme side of every issue," even the need for a rational energy policy.

"Bennett’s energy policy in brief is this: no oil, no natural gas, no clean coal, no nuclear – no nothing. At least nothing that is currently practical."

No word yet from Ralp Nader.

    I'm disappointed in Browne's decision to endorse Bennett. What's the point of even having the Green party then?

    a.j., Bennett's position re energy I think is identical to the Green Party - no oil, no coal, no drilling, only renewables and no concern at all that the approach would put our society back into the stone age.

    This is a strange statement in this election year, but this is the 1st thing I've seen that I can comprehend.

    ajc great point.

    I know Clean water Action of Allentown is stumping for Sam as well.

    Allegedly they gave a questioner to her and Dent. Only Bennet returned it.

    Probably because only Bennett has the time to. What else does she have going for her?
