Also had a strong showing with six candidates running for city councils throughout Indiana, with one candidate getting over 30% against a Democrat.
Anna Trevorrow, the School Board candidate they tout, is probably not a Green anymore. Her partner, Ben Chipman, is a Democratic State Senator.
@NG,
Maybe it is a mixed marriage.
When the Louisiana legislature was considering restoring the Open Primary for congressional elections, a Republican senator told the story of his wife voting in the primary. The voting machines had a lockout switch that an election clerk would set to present “the right” candidates to the voter. She did not recognize the names, and called the clerk over to explain. He explained that those were the Republican candidates. Though she was a lady, she apparently used quite unladylike language to suggest where the clerk might go to (involving a pair of hockey sticks). It turns out that though the senator was a Republican, she was a Democrat.
The clerk profusely apologized, and escorted her to another voting machine which was set up for a Democrat voter. She asked about the other machine where she had started to vote, and was told that they would just let the next Republican to use it.
The Greens generally annoy me, but they can do well in progressive districts.
