Greens Continue Growth in 2002.
The Green Party had a successful
Nov 5 election day and elected more Greens in 2002
than any previous year. With some results still
coming in, we have elected at least 71 people this year
and have a new officeholder count of 170. We achieved
our main goal of electing someone to a state house -
John Eder in Maine. We elected our first people in Texas
and North Carolina. Tuesday's election was a
defeat for the Democratic Party, but not for the
progressive values that they hide from. Nonetheless, our
government has moved to the right and our challenges are
greater than ever. This country needs a political party
that confronts those challenges directly and the Green
Party is ready to stand up to the challenge.
