This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

The following comes from the subject of the article, Gayle McLaughlin, via VRTS ticket # 2017052910002028 :

1. I have changed my party affiliation from Green Party to NPP (No Party Preference), which is a voter registration category in the state of California. Since I am no longer a member of the Green Party, please change the second sentence of the article to say this: A former member of the Green Party of California, she was first elected to the City Council of Richmond, California in 2004.

2. Also, under my photo where it says Political Party, it should no longer say Green Party of the United States, but should say: No Party Preference - NPP

I am hopeful someone can make these corrections for me.

Some of the wording throughout the article is worded in a way that seems laudatory rather than neutral. I've changed a couple in the lede, but there are more to make neutral. Plandu (talk) 18:30, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
