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.
Of the 50 races for local office in November, at least 18 Greens were elected, including 12 of 13 incumbents. Greens lead in two more races in California that are still too close to call and a smattering of additional local candidates are still being reported. Of the 18 elected, two were for city council, two for school board, seven for water board, and two for parks board.
Earlier in the year, running for similar offices, Green were elected in 25 of 41 races (81%). For the entire year 2024, Greens have been elected in at least 43 out of 91 races (47.8%) for county, city, school, tribal, ad special district office. Overall at least 179 Greens in 26 states ran in 2024, with a breakdown of 91 for local office and 88 for state and federal office, dispelling the myth that Greens only run in top-of-the-ticket races.
As of the November 5th election, at least 153 Greens in 21 states hold elected office. All-time, Greens have been elected at least 1551 times to public office.
