Hi Greens!

Another Election Day has come and gone! Congratulations to our new elected Greens and thank you to all of our Green candidates! Now we look toward the big 2020 Election and our Presidential Nominating Convention in Detroit next July 9-12. The Detroit Green Party, Wayne County Green Party and the Green Party of Michigan will host the Convention at Wayne State University. Our Annual Meeting Committee is planning everything that will happen at the convention and from what I'm hearing the venue is great and the convention is going to be pretty awesome! All Greens are invited to attend. Stay tuned for more information. Registration will be starting soon, and remember, if you register early, you'll get a discount on the registration fee. 

That's all for now!

Green Party Celebrates Candidate Victories, Ranked Choice Voting Coming to NYC <[link removed]>



The Green Party of the United States (GPUS) congratulates all of its 2019 Fall General Election candidates on their hard-fought campaigns, including civil rights attorney and National Lawyers Guild member Kat Bruner James for her election to Ferndale (Michigan) City Council in a partisan election. “I look forward to serving on the first female-majority City Council in Ferndale,” Kat announced in a Facebook post to supporters. “I have many people to thank.” 

Anna Trevorrow, Green Party representative on the Portland, ME Board of Education, won re-election to a third term on a tide of community support. Trevorrow received the endorsement of Equity in Portland Schools, noting her record of lobbying for “doubling Pre-K with union staff, creating the Breathe Program—the new, greatly expanded emotional-behavior program, and further investment in core instruction” to improve educational outcomes in economically marginalized communities.

Other Green Party victories in November's General Election include:

- CA — Wayne Doyle for Timber Cove County Water District
- CT — Eric Bergman for Town Council of Clinton
- CT — Ed Heflin for Constable of Greenwich
- CT — Leif Smith for Constable of Redding
- MI — Cliff Yankovich for Lowell City Council
- PA — Tara Yaney for Edgewood Borough Council
- VA — Ira Richards for Lord Fairfax Soil & Water Conservation District (Warren County)



New York City’s approval of Ranked Choice Voting (RCV)for primaries and special elections, with over 73% voting in favor of the ballot proposal, also marks an important milestone for one of the party’s signature issues. “We will continue organizing for RCV in general elections in America’s largest city,” said GPUS Co-Chair and Brooklyn residentGloria Mattera <[link removed]>. “Millions of voters directly experiencing the expanded democracy RCV brings will build on the already overwhelming support shown in the referendum. RCV for all NYC voters — every time they vote — will become an irresistible demand.”

In another example of a referendum victory for voter empowerment in New York, the citizens ofSyracuse adopted independent redistricting <[link removed]>for their city council. CONTINUE READING <[link removed]>

Green Party slams Cuomo and commission for trying to kill third parties <[link removed]>

ALBANY, NY  — Green Party of New York officials said the Public Campaign Finance Commission's decision to raise ballot access thresholds to 2% of the vote or 130,000 votes (whichever is greater) for presidential and gubernatorial elections was an anti-democratic decision that would limit voter choice in New York. 

Gloria Mattera, party co-chair stated "The Commission was supposedly charged with cleaning up the role of big money in New York elections. Instead, they made a few cosmetic changes while focusing on killing third parties. The legislature needs to stand up for democracy, and come back to finish the job they should have done last spring." CONTINUE READING <[link removed]>
