For the majority of my political involvement, I was a member of the formerly named Young Greens caucus of the Green Party of the United States. I was also very briefly a member of the Lavender Greens caucus. I left when the "Young Greens" rebranded themselves as "Young EcoSocialists." I will never pledge loyalty to any economic system, and in the United States, as in Germany, being a 'Petra Kelly Green' makes you public enemy number one.
I admit that I tried to replace the Green Party of the United States (GPUS) with a national Independent-Green Party, much in the same way that it replaced Howie Hawkins' Greens/Green Party USA. However, that effort was infiltrated by Zionists, and I failed to unite the Green Parties of Alaska, Georgia, Rhode Island, and others under an FEC-recognized federation. Green partisans often deride my insurgent work against them as being a result of ‘butthurt’ from the Jesse Ventura/Cynthia McKinney ticket, of which I chaired, losing the rigged 2020 Green Presidential Nominating contest. This is far from the truth. I received plenty of therapeutic vibrations from denying Howie the Alaska nomination to heal that wound. The goal of the now-disbanded Independent-Green Party US was to nationally organize state parties that were purged from GPUS, as I didn't believe the whims of vendetta-driven zealots should have denied the people of Alaska, Georgia, and Rhode Island a Green Party.
Despite my insurgent work against the national party and most certainly against the Arizona Green Party in 2022, I accepted an invite from former Arizona Green Party Co-Chair Colette Jennings in 2022 to a Young Eco-Socialists meeting. I thought to myself, "Why not? I'll humor this lady. Despite the fact that I'm not a socialist." Boy, was I let down. My first interaction with recently resigned Arizona Green Party Co-Chair Cody Hannah was at this very meeting with his strange request to me: "Do not attack us." Not too long after, I was given plenty to attack after the sweet woman who invited me to that admittedly boring meeting was chased out of the Arizona Green Party by racists like Hannah. Hannah may brand me an anti-Semite and transphobe. I'll accept those labels IF he accepts the label of racist.
During this last election cycle in 2024, a Jill Stein staffer gave me leaked audio of Jill trashing my mentor Cynthia McKinney. I leaked this audio, and boy, did it go viral. I have no regrets. Talk all the trash you want about my former employer Jesse Ventura. I do it frequently ever since he told me to never speak to him again for challenging his pro-COVID jab propaganda, but touch my girl and you're done for. I supported Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai in 2024 because I knew what Jill did to sabotage the Ventura-McKinney campaign with the help of her agents like Justin Beth and Erin Fox. She did the same thing to the Cornel West campaign by installing Peter Daou. My grievances with the Green Party extend way past the snubbing of my fallen hero, Jesse, in 2020.
Despite all that, I'm "back." And what do I mean by that? I mean not for long. I'll never pay a due. I'll never be a Stein or Hawkins Green. I'll never bend the knee. I'm basically pulling an Angela Green without the dropping out part. My second Arizona gubernatorial candidacy, unlike the first, will be run in the Arizona Green Party primary. In my first candidacy, there was no Arizona Green Party primary. I collected over 40,000 signatures to be listed as an Independent-Green and was relegated to a write-in candidacy after paper signatures were challenged and E-Qual signatures disappeared under the watch of the then Chief Elections Officer, who was also my opponent. So, embarrassingly after wasting resources, I placed under Liana West, who never even tried to get printed like me, who, like Katie Hobbs, refused to debate. I continue to thank Kari Lake for advocating my inclusion in the 'Clean Elections' debate but was let down by the fact that the only 2022 gubernatorial candidates to debate were me and the Libertarian-endorsed write-in.
So, know this: Most of those who may oppose me may shy from scrutiny, but I face it head-on because I feel my fellow Arizonans are worth it. I value my fellow Arizonans over the timidity of 'true believers' who refuse to face them. After No Labels Arizona cast me out for refusing to acknowledge Israel, I realized I will be opposed significantly in all parties: by the Social Darwinists of the Arizona Libertarian Party, the eco-socialists of the Arizona Green Party, the boring centrists of No Labels, and most certainly by the Republican and Democrat duopoly. So, unfortunately, I stand the best chance of nomination in a party that left me a long time ago. Despite these challenges, I remain committed to fighting for the people of Arizona, driven by the belief that real change is possible when we stand up with courage and integrity for the greater good.
