Matt Funiciello
On November 4, 2014, Green Party nominee Matt Funiciello polled 11.02% for U.S. House, New York district 21. The race had a close contest between a Democrat and a Republican. This is the highest percentage of the vote any Green Party nominee for U.S. House has ever received, in a race with both a Republican and a Democrat. Until 2014, the best U.S. House showing for a Green Party nominee in races with both major parties also in the race had been in Alaska in 1994, when Jonni Whitmore polled 10.23%.
Twice, Green Party nominees for U.S. Senate have polled over 10% in races with a Democrat and Republican also in the race. Those instances were in Hawaii in 1992, when Linda Martin polled 13.73%, and in Alaska in 1996, when Ted Whittaker polled 12.58%.
The only two Green gubernatorial nominees who have polled as much as 10% are Roberto Mondragon in New Mexico in 1994, who got 10.26%, and Richard Whitney in Illinois in 2006, who got 10.36%.
