Elected were: Anna Trevorrow for Portland Charter Commission in Maine; Ben Chipman for Portland Charter Commission in Maine; and Joyce Palmer-Fortune for Wheatley Select Board in Franklin County, Massachusetts.

Checked the GPUS site yet again.
Hey ye of ‘Room Temperature IQ’
pull the standard local news
put page after page of crowd photos from
Iran, specializing in green flags and banners.
No commentary, no editorials. Let the photo graphs speak for them selves. [Duh!]
If the official or unofficial green sites do not do this, then like so many other alternate groups, they are just not smart enuf to progress ……….
The MA candidates were unopposed.
All 3 Maine candidates were in contested races. I can’t speak to the MA candidates.
Good to see Greens running for office and winning. The more local offices that we can win, the better.
They were elected. They won the offices they were seeking, even if they were unopposed.
It is my understanding that 4 of these 5 had no opposition what so ever.
is this true? If so, can it be claimed as a victory at all?
Consistently in the USA the higher government level the exponentially higher the odds against election of Greens & Libertarians. Let’s not delude ourselves here. I believe that if the Progressive Party/Teddy Roosevelt had succeeded there would be no GP or LP.
