Green Senatorial Campaign Committee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Green Senatorial Campaign Committee (GSCC) is the Green Party committee for the United States Senate, working to elect Greens to that body. The GSCC filed with the FEC for official recognition in September 2006, it was received in February 2007 [1]. This is the first time a party other than the Democrats or Republicans have had a Senatorial Campaign Committee recognized by the FEC.

During the 2006 elections the party created the GSCC in June 2006, and it's based in Minneapolis. But without official recognition, the committee had to operate like a political action committee. [2]
