I am hopeful that the Green Party will win some City and Town seats this year.Also would love to see a strong run for Lynne Williams for Maines next Governor.

They must have corrected their story:

“The Maine Green Party’s biggest victory came in 2002 when John Eder from Portland won election to the Maine House of Representatives. Eder’s election marked only the second win anywhere in the nation for a Green candidate for state office. In 1999, California voters elected Audie Bock to serve in the state assembly, but in the next election Bock left the party to run as an independent.”

The story about the Maine Green Party is a good story, but it has a factual error…it says John Eder was the first Green Party state legislator. Actually the first was Audie Bock in California, elected in a special election in 1999.
