Write-In Candidates

Through March 2020 elections, at least 238 U.S. Greens have run as write-in candidates since Mindy Lorenz (CA) ran the first-ever Green write-in campaign in the United States, receiving an impressive 1% write-in vote for Congress in November 1990.

Since 1990, there have been 132 Green write-in candidates for local government, with 64 elected (48.5%); and 106 for state and federal office, with none elected.  Read an office-by-office and state-by-state analysis of that history here.
