They are their own party. Any affiliation with any national party is theoretical at best.
The Indy Greens of Virginia are part of the Independence Party of America, right?
Yes, but the Independent Green Party is not one of the parties covered by this article.
The Independent Green Party had a series of candidates, who performed exceptionally well.
Brad Blanton in Virginia’s 7th congressional district received about 25 per cent in 2004.
Col Albert Burckhard in the 4th District received almost 26% in the same year for the Independent Green Party.

I am also on Facebook and I sent you a friend request, Richard. That’s perhaps the best way of reaching me.
Krzysztof, your Libertarian gubernatorial list has a candidate who got 4.88% in New Hampshire, but it doesn’t list Ed Clark who got 5.46% for Governor of California in 1978, and it doesn’t have Sam Steiger, who got 5.05% for Governor of Arizona in 1982. You should work with me. I don’t have any contact information for you, but I hope you will phone me at 415-922-9779, or e-mail me at [email protected].
In the listings of record vote totals for Constitution Party candidates for Governor, Peg Luksik received 12.84 % – 460,269 votes in 1994, not 1998.
The other listing of votes for Peg Luksik in 1998 is correct – 10.44% – 315,761 votes.
This is great information, Krzysztof. Thanks for posting it.
