Pacific Green Party of Oregon

"In order to nominate candidates to partisan office at subsequent general elections, the minor political party must maintain its status by achieving:

A) Registered party members equal to at least .1% of all votes cast for Governor in the electoral district in which the party formed and

B) At least once in a 4-year period, total votes cast for a party candidate are equal to at least 1% of all votes cast for the office of US President, US Senator, Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, or Attorney General in the electoral district in which the party formed. 

-Secretary of State, Elections Division

While the election results have yet to be certified, we can safely say the Pacific Green candidates for Secretary of State and State Treasurer each cleared this requirement by a comfortable margin. Thank you to Nathalie Paravicini and Mary King for running for office. And thank you to the voters for helping the Pacific Green Party maintain its ballot access!

Nationally, Jill Stein received more votes than any other Presidential candidate outside the two major parties, eclipsing the totals of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (I) and Chase Oliver (L), among others.

In Oregon, our three Pacific Green Congressional candidates collected more than 24,000 votes - outperforming the Libertarian Party and the  Constitution Party statewide.

At least 131 Greens in 23 states ran in the November 5th election. Among these, 81 races were for partisan state office, and 50 were for local, county, city, school and special offices.

We have many ways to win, and every vote is a win that helps to achieve our goals in this election, including winning the White House, growing the Green Party, and building power for a new kind of politics for people, planet, and peace.

Help us build a movement! People power requires people!

Step 1: Register Green! There is literally no downside, and it helps us demonstrate our power. There is power in numbers. If we band together, the powers that be have to listen to us, or else lose their power.

Step 2: Find a way to get involved. Not every action is for everyone and that's ok! There are several ways to plug-in. One way is to volunteer for a campaign you care about. There are several campaigns happening right now.
