from March 2004 till June 2005. She also served as Jason Crummey's registered agent during the 2005 Labrador by-election.
Martino went on maternity leave from her job in June 2005. Six months later, after being asked to volunteer as an organizer on the ground, assisting the hired organizer living in PEI, Martino publicly resigned from the Green Party of Canada. She did so after the Green Party leader Jim Harris travelled to St. John's on the eve of a federal election, calling for a ban on subsidies to the "barbaric commercial seal slaughter".
Given that Martino was the publicly recognized representative of the Green Party in Newfoundland and Labrador, it was important that she have her opposition to the Leader's action recognized and heard. The Green Party reacted by claiming Martino was not the paid organizer at that time.
Green Party members passed a resolution at an Alberta convention in August 2004 calling for a phasing out of the harp and hooded commercial seal hunt. No members of the Newfoundland and Labrador wing of the Green Party were present at this convention; nor were they made aware that the resolution would be debated.
Martino ran as a Liberal party candidate in the 2007 provincial election and placed last in St. John's Centre. She lost to Shawn Skinner (PC), receiving 374 votes to Skinner's 3,332.Newfoundland & Labrador Votes 2007
