2004 Green Candidates who campaigned in Colorado

2002- We won a significant number of local offices in 2002 including seats in Carbondale, Basalt, Ward, Dolores, Telluride and Park County. None of our candidates won in the 2002 General Election in Colorado; however they all ran great campaigns and significantly raised awareness of the Green Party and the issues.
Nationally the Green Party had its best year ever winning 66 offices in 2002. The most prominent victory included John Eder's victory for state house in Portland, Maine. Eder defeated his Democratic opponent by a two-to-one margin.  Victories ranged from Hawaii to Maine and Texas to Minnesota, with North Carolina and Texas both electing their first Green to local office. Growth over the past two years nationally has been over 27%, according to Ballot Access News.
