Steve Kramer (politician)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Steve Kramer (b. January 10, 1966; Baltimore, Maryland, United States) is an American Green politician and is one of the seven current (as of 2005) co-chairs of the Green Party of the United States.

Kramer was pursuing a career in computer engineering when he first entered politics in an ill-fated independent run for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives (Maryland, 5th District) in 1992. Later he moved to Howard County, Maryland and became involved with the local Green Party.

In 2003, he became an Alternate Delegate from Maryland to the Coordinating Committee (later Green National Committee), and was elected as a full Delegate in 2004. In 2005, he was elected to the Steering Committee of that body, serving as a co-Chair. He was also asked to help lead a group working to reform the Presidential nominating process of the Green Party in the same year.

In addition to Kramer's technical and political careers, he is also an active sportsman and game hobbyist. He is a former soccer coach and the inventor of the sport of triskelion, and has co-authored a rule book for the Hero System.
