Statewide Candidates
President of the United States
The two candidates for the Peace and Freedom Party nomination
for President of the United States who appeared on the March 2nd ballot
were:
- Walter F. "Walt" Brown (1,938 votes for 40.7%
statewide, 21 votes for 16.8% in Santa Cruz County)
- Leonard Peltier (2,809 votes for 59.2%
statewide, 104 votes for 83.2% in Santa Cruz County)
(In addition, there were 5 write-in votes cast for Israel Feuer, who
qualified as an official write-in candidate as chair of a P&F delegation,
of which none were cast in Santa Cruz County. Originally, the name of
Mumia Abu-Jamal was to appear on the
presidential ballot, but he decided just before the deadline for
withdrawing that he did not want to be considered for the Peace and
Freedom Party's Presidential nomination.)
The March Presidential Preference Primary was not binding on the
Peace and Freedom Party; the actual choice of a Presidential
candidate will be made at our August 2004 convention by the
members of the State Central Committee who were elected in the
March primary.

The Peace and Freedom Party candidate for U.S. Senator is
Marsha Feinland. She received 127 votes
in Santa Cruz County, of 4,864 in the entire state.
