Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) has been making it a habit lately to take to social media to attack the Green Party. In one video she implies we don't try to win local seats. Well, AOC should know that we do. She even campaigned for a Green in a local race in 2017 when Jabari Brisport ran for New York City Council. In fact, there are at least 143 Greens currently in elected offices across the United States. Since 1985, Greens have won at least 1502 races.
In Oregon, the Pacific Green Party has ten locally elected Greens.
