| Description | Green Party candidates for US Senate, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, State Auditor, Attorney General, and US House of Representatives filed over 17,000 signatures with the Secretary of State Tuesday, July 18 at Noon, representing Minnesota voters nominating the Green Party candidates for partisan office. They will be joined by two candidates for the legislature who have also achieved ballot status.
As a minor party in the state of Minnesota, Green Party candidates needed to collect from 500 signatures for state legislative seats, to 2,000 signatures for each of the state constitutional and federal offices, between July 4th and July 18th to appear on the ballot. "Placing seven candidates on the ballot by petition is a huge accomplishment and is more than any other 3rd party has done in recent history." said Rhoda Gilman, Green Party of Minnesota Politics Chair. |
