Cynthia McKinney has represented Georgia in the House of Representatives since 1992 as Georgia’s first African American Congresswoman. McKinney's voting record reflects her philosophy that government should serve to provide uplift to local communities and the dignity of the human spirit. This means promoting the rights of seniors, students, the disabled, minorities, veterans, and workers.
In this election, she is running as the Green Party candidate Presidential candidate with running mate Rosa Clemente. In addition to advocating and legislating for civil rights and the environment, McKinney has been a champion of veterans’ affairs, co-sponsoring legislation to beef up veterans' health care, and to grant work opportunity credits to employers who hire veterans.
She believes we need comprehensive federal investments in low-income families and communities. She wants affordable housing for the working class and homeless throughout this country struggling to make ends meet.
She wants the United States to adopt the United Nations Declaration on Indigenous Rights, recognizing that we cannot have peace until we start with our own history here at home. She will bring all U.S. troops stationed in other countries around the world home.
She will set a goal of carbon neutrality within the next 20 years so that our country can begin the shifts in investment necessary to fuel an investment renaissance in jobs, energy independence from fossil fuels, and manufacturing. She will also create air, land, water, climate, production and consumption policies that reflect the real limits within which we must live.
As stated on her website, “We are willing to struggle as long as it takes to have our values prevail in public policy. A vote for the Green Party is a vote for the movement that will turn this country right side up again.”
