Abstract

"Cover Story" piece on the Maine Green Independent Party, which is expected to field two gubernatorial candidates in next year's June primary: Baptist minister Steven Farsaci and forest practices activist Jonathan Carter. If they both qualify under rules laid out in Maine's Clean Election law, that would trigger the release of a combined $208,000 to be spent in the seven weeks leading up to the primary. That's a lot of money for a party with only 8,700 registered members in Maine. But the possibility of a contested primary has stirred a fierce debate among Greens. Some welcome it as a boon to party-building, while others fear it will sow intra-party division. With details about Green Party divisions at the national level.
