LaMarche: Green primary possible in 2010

By Jessica Alaimo, PolitickerME.com Reporter

Pat LaMarche, a former Green Party gubernatorial candidate, said she will not run again in 2010.

LaMarche said several greens are looking at running, and a primary might be likely. She would not give names.

The Green Party must run someone for governor each cycle to maintain their status as an official party in the state.

Recent Green Party candidates:

2006: Pat LaMarche of Yarmouth – 9.5 percent in a five-way race
2002: Jonathan Carter of Lexington Twp. -- 9.2 percent in a four-way race
1998: LaMarche – 6.8 percent (No declared green ran this year, however LaMarche ran as an independent.)
1994: Carter – 6.4 percent
