Please register to attend the Green Party's Annual National Meeting Aug 15-18, 2024, where we present a discussion panel with past and present state level candidates.  Followed by a Q&A, a moderator will lead discussion:

- Tell us about your race, what are you running for;
-What is your why? What made you decide to run as a green;
-What is your how? How does your campaign address the issues that you identify;
-How do you translate the national green party values and platform to a local context;
-How do you work with local movements in coalitions;
-What organizing goals do you have for after the election;
-What advice do you have for other state and local Green Party candidates.

2024 Candidate Forum:  State Level Candidates, will take place virtually for registered attendees on Friday, August 16, from 12 noon - 1:15 pm (ET).

Green Party donors like you have allowed us to help these two state governor candidates to make a difference

The donor community of the Green Party US has made possible more than $15,000 in candidate grants during the last twelve months to worthy Green Party candidates.

Recently, the GPUS Coordinated Campaign Committee awarded $1500 to two gubernatorial candidates in North Carolina and Washington.

Wayne Turner for Governor, North Carolina

Wayne is currently serving as a Co-Chair of the NC Green Party, a committed leader who’s been giving his time and expertise to the state party since its beginnings. Wayne lays out a detailed set of reforms, as opposed to  the way North Carolina has been governed by the Democrats and Republicans, proposing sensible changes critical to a good life and sustainable future for us all. We ask you to read about his positions on his Platform page at www.agreenforgovernor.org, and while you’re there, please volunteer or donate what you can for Wayne’s campaign!

This is the opportunity we’ve been working toward – having a Green voice in the governor’s race, challenging the Red-Blue gridlock of the past to offer equitable solutions and forward-thinking ideas. Our lives continue to be dramatically affected by policies directed by the wealthy few, and old two-party politics simply remain lacking what it will take to put human needs above their for-profit, special interest designs. 

We must keep up the pressure this year, no matter what dirty dealings or dark money may be thrown at us again. We’re working people working for change, knowing we’re in this fight because it never mattered more than in these difficult times of struggle for people, most of which have now become receptive to third-party alternatives. We must resist the fear-tactics and bullying which is done to try to hold us back! 

Andre Stackhouse for Governor, Washington

A #DemExiter after 2020, after protesting the Democratic Party's refusal to restore Medicare For All back on its platform, Andre is a highly-visible leader in Washington State lobbying for the issue. (Medicare For All was removed from the Dem platform 30 years ago to attract corporate funds; Andre is now at home in the right party on this issue.)    Andre also campaigns for tuition-free higher education, a housing guarantee, and a living wage.  Please learn more about Andre's campaign from its website.

Andre currently is the Executive Director of the 501(c)4 political nonprofit Whole Washington, an organization best known for its advocacy of statewide universal healthcare for Washington state. As campaign director of the statewide I-1471 campaign, Stackhouse was the primary sponsor of The Washington Health Trust, a statewide universal public healthcare proposal, as introduced to the public as an Initiative to the Legislature. 

"Make Washington Affordable"

Andre Stackhouse's campaign for Governor emphasizes a policy platform which he describes as comprehensive, visionary, sensible, and achievable. Among the over sixteen issues highlighted on the platform are universal public healthcare, a housing guarantee, tuition-free continuing education (including public universities, community colleges, and trade programs), and a living wage adjusted annually based on geography and cost of living. 

Cash awards to worthy candidates are granted by the GPUS Coordinated Campaign Committee.   They are possible because of grassroots donors like you.  None of these funds come from corporate or establishment interests.  The funds come either from annual Green Party US budget allocations or from your ongoing direct contributions to the GPUS Coordinated Campaign Committee.  Coordinated Campaign Committee members are elected by the GPUS National Committee to provide support to candidates.

Your contribution to either the general funds of the Green Party of the United States or directly to the Coordinated Campaign Committee allows us to support more great candidates like Wayne and Andre, whose activism and campaigns make positive contributions towards much-needed change in US politics.

Thank you for your support!
