Running for office is one of the best ways to engage the public, challenging the status quo by speaking about what matters to the 99%.  Winning an election not only means getting elected - it means to SHIFTING THE DISCOURSE.

You can make a big difference as a Green in elected office!  Here's a list of seats to consider:

  • school board
  • conservation district
  • port
  • public college or university board
  • public transportation district
  • city or county council
  • mayor
  • Oregon House or Senate
  • Oregon Federal Congressional districts
  • Oregon Federal Senate seats
  • state offices, including Governor, Treasurer, Secretary of State, Attorney General, etc.

Every election there are often local seats which are uncontested. Getting your name on the ballot in these cases means you will likely win that election.
