The Pacific Green Party held its first nominating convention marking a significant milestone in the party's efforts to promote environmental sustainability, social justice, and grassroots democracy in Oregon.
The convention saw Dr. Jill Stein emerge as a clear favorite, securing 9 delegates, while Jasmine Sherman received 2 delegates. Jorge Zavala did not receive any delegates.
A highlight of the convention was the insightful panel discussion featuring current Greens in elected office. Panelists Josiah Dean, Alex Polikoff, Michael Clary, and Michael Sonnleitner shared their personal experiences from various parts of the state, discussed the meaning of being Green on councils and boards, shared lessons learned, and explored ways to develop succession and governing expertise within the party.
