Bio
David Cobb was the Green Party nominee for President of the United States in 2004. The Cobb-LaMarche Campaign initiated and funded the vote recount in Ohio that uncovered voter fraud in the 2006 presidential election. Cobb served as the General Counsel for the Green Party before declaring his candidacy in 2003. His entire legal career is dedicated to challenging illegitimate corporate power and to creating an active democracy movement in the United States. In 2002 he ran for state Attorney General in Texas pledging to use the office to revoke the charters of corporations that break the law.

David is the Campaigns Director for Democracy Unlimited of Humboldt County and is a Fellow with Liberty Tree: The Foundation for the Democratic Revolution. He also serves as a principal with the Program on Corporations Law & Democracy and is a co-founder and member of the Board of Directors for the Green Institute. He serves on the Sierra Club's national Corporate Accountability Committee.

Cobb was born in Houston, Tx in 1962. At age of 6 his family moved to San Leon, Texas, a small shrimping village on the Gulf of Mexico. He spent his childhood in rural poverty, and grew up in a house his father built with his own hands. Issues of social and economic justice have since been very real and personal for him. Cobb worked in construction for several years to save money for college. He worked his way through school and graduated from the University of Houston Law School in 1993.
