Green Party is entering its Elizabethan age
Choice of former Sierra Club director is a trade up in leadership
This weekend, Elisabeth May the 52-year-old environmental activist was elected the
national leader of the Green Party and plans to put together a platform
that will win her new party seats in the next federal election.
Ms. May is the single mother of a 15-year-old teenager, Victoria
Cate, who her mother said is beginning to show signs of being an
activist or politician in the making.
Ms. May’s mother, Stephanie, was a lobbyist and an organizer for the
U.S. Democrats. In the 1970s, she befriended a young Bill Clinton, when
he was a law-school student at Yale. Both Ms. May’s mother and Mr.
Clinton were working for George McGovern, who lost the presidential bid
to incumbent Richard Nixon.
However, Mr. Clinton became a family friend. Earlier this year,
after reading a newspaper article saying that Ms. May was seeking the
leadership of the Green Party, he contacted her.
