This is not a complete list of New York candidates. For Congress, we’re running 8 candidates, and between the two houses of the state Legislature we’ve got 13 candidates. http://www.web.gpnys.com/?page_id=251
Ronald Hardy said on September 8, 2012
Yes, this has not been updated in several months. I will try and start cleaning it up over the next several days. The database at gp.org is likely more accurate at this time.
Smart said on September 11, 2012
Ursula Rozum should definitely be added.
Ronald Hardy said on October 5, 2012
I’ve updated Arkansas, Arizona, and California. I’ll skip ahead to New York next. Sorry – this is very time consuming! And it is even harder to cover election results in November (hint I could use some help)
Ronald Hardy said on October 6, 2012
Updated Illinois, New Jersey and New York.
Maine, Wisconsin and Texas are up next.
Ronald Hardy said on November 4, 2012
This should be up to date now.
Teresa said on November 5, 2012
There are no green party candidates for Missouri?
Craig Daniels said on November 7, 2012
* Thanks for these Green election results, Ronald –an Internet exclusive, near as I can tell.
* Congratulations to Dr. Jill and Cheri to a most inspiring run! Their courage and relevance put the rest of our political process to shame.
* I was optimistic enough to hope for 5% (oh dear me/us). It’s righteous and honorable to be fighting this good fight –but: we should be “hedging” (a lot) on our electoral political efforts –by coming up with coping strategies –as might be appropriate for miniscule, insular (not by choice) scatterings of sane people –in a world headed for a new edition of the dark ages (trimmed with with eco-disaster oakleaf clusters). Time to hunker down for the long haul.
* There’s much talk about the MSM blackout on 3rd party candidates and their platforms, but a lot of that isn’t deliberate. The editor of a newspaper up the coast from me honestly had no idea who Dr. Jill Stein is.
Can we say the same about those calling the shots at Raw Story, OpEd News, Common Dreams and Truthdig? I saw not a mention of the November 4th or 5th debates on the front pages of those web venues. On the 5th there was a single 3rd party story at Truthdig in Boyarsky’s column about Rocky Anderson (which was at Anderson’s prompting). Boyarsky’s last sentence reads: “Getting an e-mail from Rocky Anderson and talking to him on a cellphone was an interesting experience, but it is no substitute for national debate on all the country’s troubles.” Gosh: he just might have a point there.

Green Party needs to promote itself the next four years to get the 5% support.
