"I can think of no greater honor than to run my daughter's race to the finish line. I shall continue her race as she started; running for the people! I shall adopt Natasha's campaign issues as my own. One of Natasha's pet peeves was the lack of proper bike lanes. I intend to be her voice of advocacy fighting to bring bike lanes to full fruition."
Kenniss Henry is running to carry on the campaign of her daughter, Natasha Pettigrew, who died Sept. 21 from injuries sustained in a hit and run accident. Ms. Henry grew up in a small rural town on the Eastern Shore of Virginia and graduated from Virginia State University with a BA in Sociology. She has an extensive professional career in the fields of employee relations and human resources, technical and customer service management in operations, and as a government contractor. She is a Past-President of The Ohio State University Advisory Board for the Parents Association. In honor of her daughter, Ms. Henry seeks to bring attention to bicycle safety and the need for bicycle lanes on all Maryland roadways.
Congratulations to the Green Party U.S. Senate candidates, who received over a half million votes in 2010! Senate races are the most challenging because of the huge influx of corporate and special interest funding to Democrats and Republicans. However, they offer unprecedented visibility for the Green Party and lay the groundwork for future success in congressional, state, and local races. Preliminary results can be viewed here.
Tom Clements got almost 10% in the South Carolina U.S. Senate race with 120,508 votes, the highest total of all the U.S. Senate candidates.
