The Green Party of the United States has reported that at least 14 candidates formally associated with the organization won a combined 16 local and state races this month. Green candidates have won 48 elections since the start of the 2025 cycle.
In the weeks leading up to the election, the party maintained a list of candidates appearing on the November 4 ballot who met its definition of a “Green candidate,” a designation extended to individuals who are members of the Green Party, whether at the state or national level, and who have no membership or active affiliation with another political organization. Independent Political Report coverage from October 28 reflected 42 such candidates seeking 49 positions, with several appearing on the ballot for more than one office.
As of November 18, the party’s database shows that the 14 winning candidates secured 16 positions, with Leif Smith of Connecticut winning seats on both the Redding Zoning Board of Appeals as an alternate and as a town constable, and Alexander George Casper of Pennsylvania winning both an inspector of elections seat and a judge of elections seat in Bradford. The database also now includes six additional Green candidates who appeared on the ballot, bringing the total number of identified Green candidates this month to 48. That figure does not include individuals who ran in municipal elections earlier this year.
Based on the updated list, most of the party’s November wins occurred in Pennsylvania and Connecticut, with five and eight, respectively. Green-aligned candidates also won a city council race in Holyoke, Massachusetts, a selectboard seat in Topsham, Maine, and a municipal judge position in Bayard, New Mexico, with the latter won by Danny Ray LaGarde, one of the races identified after IPR’s earlier reporting.
Ahead of Election Day, the party identified 159 Greens in office nationwide. Of the candidates who did not win this month, IPR was able to verify that three were incumbents. When accounting for candidates who sought multiple offices, such as Smith and Casper, and others who were incumbents successfully reelected, the Green Party is expected to now have 165 total elected officials going into the new year.
The party has not identified any candidates appearing on the ballot in run-off elections next month. A full list of Green candidates who appeared on the November 4 ballot and won their races is reflected below:
