Having more electoral district associations open could help mobilize the base year round, says David Merner, who is running to succeed Elizabeth May as leader. The party has 214 associations.

Former Green Party Leader Elizabeth May, flanked on Nov. 4 by her party's most recent addition to the House in New Brunswick MP Jenica Atwin, has been an asset to the party for years when it comes to fundraising, said leadership hopeful David Merner. Vying for the top job himself, he said the party could see a 'watershed moment' come 2020 that could lift its fundraising numbers above the NDP's.
