Has a Green party member ever won an election?
I think I heard a couple of libertarian candidates have won some city council or state legislature seats.
On the one hand, it can be good in the short term to see these minor parties siphon support from Democrats. On the other hand, it’s troubling if we see critical masses eventually supporting these radical political parties.

I’ve thought about that. But in today’s America, political campaigns are fueled by money. You need big bucks to win. I don’t see how the Greens could ever attract that kind of money, on a consistent basis.
But then again, Bernie came close...so maybe you do have a point.

Yes, John Eder was elected to the Maine State House in 2002 from Portland. He served two terms. He and several others have also been elected to the non partisan school board and city council. He recently lost a democrat primary for the school board in Biddeord Maine where he moved to recently.
