US Congress – Cassandra Martineau
Lifelong social justice activist Cassandra Martineau, who resides in Windham and serves on the Zoning Board of Appeals there, was endorsed to run against incumbent Congressman Joe Courtney. She is an executive officer of the Willimantic NAACP and founder of Willimantic Rainbow Connection, an LGBTQ+ group. “It’s time to stop begging politicians for relief for working families and under-represented populations. We need to lead the way to change.”
Martineau's platform stresses Medicare for All NOW, a Green New Deal centering on local control of utilities, $15 minimum wage, supporting public education without standardized testing requirements, and ending qualified immunity for police. in order to combat the influence of corporate money in politics, Green Party candidates accept contributions only from individuals, never from businesses or special interest groups.
