Nov 5th, 2008--I received 31% of the vote and my opponent Sam Smucker was elected. Thank you to everyone who helped me with my positive, serious, and substantive campaign.

Hello, my name is Joe Futrelle and I'm your Green Party candidate for Champaign County Board, District 8.

I'm running to provide you with a choice you would never have had if hundreds of you hadn't said yes to the Green Party when you voted for Susan Rodgers in 2004 and me in 2006.

I hear you, so I'm running again to give you the opportunity to support a green future for Champaign County, with sustainable development, sound stewardship of our natural resources, social justice in our courthouse, and a commitment to public health.

Please help me bring these values to county government. Contact me with questions or concerns, donate or volunteer to help me win, and join me in taking personal responsibility for our environment, democracy, and future.
