At least 132 Greens in 23 states ran in November 5 elections: AZ (11), CA (18), CT (9), DC (6), FL (1), HI (3), IL (2), KS (2), MD (3), ME (3), MI (15), MN (2), MO (13), MT (1), NC (4), NJ (13), NY (1), OR (14), PA (2), SC (1), TX (3), VA (1), WI (1) and WV (3).
Among these, 81 races were for partisan state and federal office, and 51 were for local county, city, school and special offices.
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.
As of November 5 elections, at least 160 Greens in 21 states hold elected office. All-time, Greens have been elected at least 1575 times to public office. (last updated November 28, 2024)
