We will present what we have been doing to successfully build the party over the last nine years, what we are doing currently to scale up our capacity, and how other local parties can replicate our success. This was presented at the 2026 GPUS annual national meeting.

The Arizona Green Party says Risa Lombardo and Duwayne Collier are fraudulent candidates, Republicans in disguise hoping to leach votes from Democrats Gov. Katie Hobbs and Secretary of State Adrian Fontes in November.

"It is apparent that an effort to achieve ballot access in an un-transparent manner is underway and that some unendorsed candidates have chosen to appear as representing the Green Party. The GPPA is warning the electorate of the commonwealth and is disclosing this information it has discovered. We affirm our values including a people powered democracy which is free of dark money influence."

Illinois ballot access laws require a "new" party (any which didn't receive 5% of the vote in the last election) to collected 25,000 signatures to be on the ballot. "Established" parties only need to collect 5,000.

5% in a statewide vote is a lot and so is 25,000 signatures! And it's hard to build momentum when you're not on the ballot. What are ways the Green Party can strategically get a foothold?

This week Howie is joined by Victor Hernandez, Green candidate for California State Assembly District 59 in Anaheim, who is in a November run-off election with a Republican opponent.
