The Green Party of California is thrilled to share Green Party’s latest successes! California Green candidates secured a total of 14 local office seats: 2 City Council, 4 School Board, 5 Water or Irrigation Board, and 3 additional positions. A special shout out to Randy Marx who received the highest number of votes, totaling 2,644 for the Fair Oaks Water District, Division 4 seat in Sacramento County. 

These Green representatives, running on clean-money to serve their communities, inspire us to grow our party and support more Green candidates to do the same.  We congratulate all 18 of these committed Green Party candidates who have stepped in to run and we extend our support to them. 

Did you know that many of our winning candidates were incumbents and half were the only ones who filed for their offices and were therefore “automatically elected”? 
There are many public seats that go uncontested in every election where a small grassroots Green Party campaign can win! 

Would YOU like to run for office to serve your community in 2025 or 2026?
If so, NOW is the time to plan and get engaged with the Green Party of California. Learn more about how to RUN GREEN and contact our Candidates Committee for more information.
