Washington, D.C., has partisan elections for city council at-large. The voters elect two, but no party is permitted to run more than one candidate. At last month’s election, the Green Party nominee, G. Lee Aikin, received 29,165 votes, whereas the Republican nominee received 28,823.

Here are the official returns, but they don’t include party labels. The Democrat is Robert White. The Libertarian is Matthew Klokel. David Grasso and John Cheeks were independent candidates. The Democrat and independent Grasso were elected.

Connecticut, uniquely, makes a determination as to whether a party retains ballot qualification on an office-by-office basis. Last month, the Green Party polled enough votes for U.S. Senate to be ballot-qualified for that office in 2018. That is the first time the Green Party ever achieved that for U.S. Senate.

Other parties that are ballot-qualified for U.S. Senate are Democratic, Republican, Working Families, and Libertarian.

The Green Party had only been on the Connecticut ballot for U.S. Senate twice, in 2006, when it only got .52%, and in 2016, when it got 1.05%. The law requires at least 1%.

On November 8, 2016, Green Party nominee Mark Salazar easily set a new record for a Green Party nominee for U.S. Congress. He ran in the Arizona 8th district, which is centered on the western suburbs of Phoenix. His only ballot-listed opponent was incumbent Republican Congressman Trent Franks. Salazar received 93,954 votes, 31.43%. Salazar is a Green Party leader and the state party treasurer.

The last time the Democrats ran in this district, they didn’t do much better than Salazar. A Democrat ran in 2012 and got 35.06%.

No other Green Party nominee for Congress had ever polled as much as 25% of the vote. The previous highest percentages for Green nominees for U.S. House were: (1) in Arkansas in 2008, 23.22%; (2) in Pennsylvania in 2002, 22.32%. Also an Independent Green Party nominee in Virginia in 2006 polled 23.54%.
