Green Party 2015 state conventions in NY, AZ, MA, PA, SC, ME, CA

As far as I can tell we missed posting this in time for the conventions that took place this past weekend, while others are still upcoming. The release went out before the weekend and talks about all of them in a future tense for that reason.

Spring is the time for annual conventions of many of our affiliated State & Local Green Parties. A partial list of upcoming meetings is listed here, including New York, Arizona, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Maine, and California.

Conventions have already been held in New Jersey & Illinois. Our hardy Greens in Maine held their annual meeting in January.

Maine – Lakes Region Green Gathering 2015
Saturday, June 6 in Casco

Clearly, growing the Green Party means running more candidates and winning more elections. You’re on board. But how do you pick a race to run in? Once you’ve identified a seat to run for, how do you structure your campaign? What paperwork needs to be filed? How much time are we talking here? Not up for running? What are the other roles you might play in a campaign?
