Jason Levin seeks PGP nomination for Governor
Jason Levin, a Pacific Green Party member from Portland Oregon, has expressed interest in running for Oregon Governor in the November 2014 general election as the Green Party candidate. He has submitted a Statement of Candidacy which is available for review here, and he has a facebook page. To summarize from his statement, Mr. Levin is a former public school teacher holding two master's degrees, in technology education and electronic communications, from San Francisco State University. The most important issue to him is the passage of IP53 - the "Legalization of Marijuana" initiative. He owns a small business which sells cannabis-infused butters and oils to OMMP patients and dispensaries. He has not previously run for office. |
