Paul outpaces opponents in Green party leadership fundraising efforts

Aug 4, 2020 | 2:02 PM

OTTAWA — Green party leadership hopeful Annamie Paul is solidifying her spot as a front-runner in the race to succeed Elizabeth May.

Party data show as of the end of July, Paul’s fundraising haul was almost $121,000, more than one-third of the total raised by all nine candidates in the race.

Ontario lawyer Dimitri Lascaris is in a distant second on the fundraising front, with $52,610.

Paul, along with Conservative contender Leslyn Lewis, are the first Black women running for national party leaderships in more than half a century.

Paul says the idea of making history as the first Jewish woman of colour to lead a national political party is helping motivate her and her supporters.
