Greg Malone, a former star of the Codco TV sketch comedy series, will be running for the Green Party of Canada in the upcoming federal election. The party said Tuesday Malone will carry its colours in the Newfoundland riding of Avalon. Following the 1993 AIDS-related death of his Codco co-star, Tommy Sexton, Malone worked to destigmatize the disease and to raise awareness to the needs of people living with HIV. “He has worked tirelessly to raise awareness of the health care issues facing persons living with HIV-AIDS,” May said. “Greg will be a wonderful standard bearer for the Greens in Newfoundland, Labrador and Canada.”
