2024 Election Results

Of the 51 races for local office in November, at least 20 Greens were elected in AZ, CA, DC, FL, ME and SC, including 12/13 incumbents. Among the 20 elected, two were for city council, five for school board, eight for water board and two for parks board. Of the 51 overall, the breakdown includes: city council (16), mayor (2), school board (7), water board and public utilities districts (10), parks board (2) and county board (4).

Earlier in 2024, running for similar offices, Greens were elected in 30 out of 41 races (73.2%) . For the entire 2024, Greens have been elected in at least 50 out of 92 races (54.3%) for county, city, school, tribal and special district office. Overall at least 184 Greens in 27 states ran in 2024, with a breakdown of 92 for local office and 92 for state and federal office, dispelling the myth yet again that Greens only run for top-of-the-ticket races.

Jill Stein urges Greens to power up for the next phase

As we power up for the next phase of this movement, I want to send you my deepest heartfelt gratitude. For you are a paragon of courage, the unstoppable force we need for an America and a world that works for all of us! Together we have changed history, and our work has only begun.

Despite the extraordinary effort to silence, smear and intimidate us, you stood strong to challenge genocide, endless war, oligarchy, inequality, climate collapse, rising fascism, nuclear armageddon and more.

You forced solutions into the election dialogue that would otherwise have been ignored - from a weapons embargo to end Israel’s genocide, to ending endless war, a $25 dollar minimum wage, rent control, Medicare for All, a real Green New Deal, reparations, land back, an end to mass incarceration and police violence, and ending the migration crisis by ending predatory US policies driving mass migration in the first place - from endless war and neo-colonialism to the war on drugs and more.

Dearborn Greens have begun forming a caucus in Michigan for Arab and Muslim Americans. Similar organizing is happening in Minnesota.

"Establishing a caucus within the Green Party dedicated to representing the Arab and Muslim American communities will provide a platform for advocacy on issues specific to these communities, including civil rights, anti-discrimination efforts, fair immigration policies, and peace-oriented foreign policy," says Dearborn Greens' caucus proposal.

"Creating this caucus will further enrich the Green Party’s diversity and bring critical perspectives to the forefront of discussions, ensuring that the needs and voices of Arab and Muslim Americans are better represented in party platforms and actions."

How often have you heard that the Green Party shows up every four years and then disappears? That's untrue; we have run thousands of candidates over the years. A while back, The Wisconsin Greens had 36 elected officials alone!

You can help get us back to those numbers by running for office next Spring. By doing this, we grow our vision of people, planet, and peace locally and allow voters to have a choice besides the two establishment parties.

Delegates decided by consensus to renew the active membership of the Green Party of Delaware County and the Green Party of Westmoreland County. Delegates also decided by consensus on their meeting dates for 2025
