Angel Torres ran as a Green for State Representative in AZ.
| Job History: | |
 | A 23-year airline employee, I served on my bargaining unit's first contract negotiating committee (2005-07), and have been a union shop steward (Teamsters Local 104) since 2005.
I have been a registered Green since 1992. I have served as the co-chair of the Green Party of Maricopa County (GPMC) since February 2004, and as the co-chair of the Arizona Green Party (AZGP) since September 2004. I have been actively involved in the past 2 ballot status petition drives (2008 and 2010) for AZGP, collecting over 870 signatures in 2008, and more than 2000 signatures in 2010. I attended the 2008 Green Party-US Presidential Nominating Convention in Chicago, and served as the AZGP delegation chair. I am a former member of the Green Party-US Fundraising Committee (2006-08), and a current member of the Green Party-US Latina/o Caucus (2008-10). I'm a native Arizonan, and graduated from Arizona State University (1986) with a B.A in Organizational Communication. |

| Why Vote For Angel Torres: | |
| Endorsements:
* Arizona Green Party (AZGP)--May 29th, 2010 * Andrew Marshall--Secretary/Treasurer, International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), Local 104 (Phoenix, AZ) |
| A big thanks to all our Arizona Green Party (AZGP) endorsed candidates, our volunteers and supporters! Although not elected, as a first-time candidate, I received 2,139 votes (5.24% of the ballots cast). Only 49.38% of the Arizona electorate bothered to vote, so there is enormous potential for the Green Party and our endorsed candidates locally and nationwide in 2012! |
