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.
