Update on Moe Green, GOP Candidate In Special Election

On November 10th, we will get our first chance to show that voters are finally ready for some real change.

Maurice “Mo” Green is the Republican candidate for State Representative in House District 10, in the November 10 special election to replace the late Rep. Thomas Slater. District 10 is on the south side of Providence, between Roger Williams Park and the Cranston Street Armory, and between the Cranston line and Trinity Square. It includes the Reservoir Triangle, South Elmwood & West End neighborhoods.

If you would like to help make phone calls or pass out flyers, contact Moe’s campaign manager Dave Talan at 941-3662 (DaveTalan [at] aol [dot] com). On October 6, Moe greeted voters at the Democratic primary after they had finished voting, while volunteers handed out his flyers. On October 10, volunteers delivered flyers to all 5,000 households in the District. (There will be additional lit drops on Saturday mornings October 24 & November 7).

Moe Green, age 44, from Rutherglen Ave., has been a Providence police officer for 20 years (a Detective for 11 years). He has investigated homicides, and worked as an undercover narcotics Detective. He previously worked for 4 years with the city Traffic Engineer’s office.

Moe Green has an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice at Roger Williams University. He is active in sports. He also has spoken to minority youth groups (like the Urban League and the Job Corps) about the inner workings of the criminal justice system.

Moe Green explained why he is running. “I may be ‘green’ at politics, but I am a regular citizen who wants to help our state in a time of need.”

Moe Green is one of 11 candidates who had qualified to run, and one of 3 still remaining. On November 10, he will face Scott Slater (winner of the 7-way Democratic primary, and son of the former State Rep.), and Wilbur Jennings (a well-known Democrat, who is running as an Independent, in order to bypass the primary. Two other Independent Democrats dropped out of the race. Green is the only Republican. Nobody from the Moderate Party filed to run. So the final ballot on November 10 will match Mo Green against 2 Democrats, with only a plurality needed to win. Prior to Rep. Slater, the House seat was held by a Republican, the late Rep. Mary Ross, who took advantage of a similar split in the Democratic Party to win election
We have a terrific chance to win this seat, and send a message that Republicans can win anywhere in this state, even in the most unlikely areas.
