In 2005, Stein set her sights locally, running for the Lexington Town Meeting, a representative town meeting, the local legislative body in Lexington, Massachusetts (pop 34k). Stein was elected to one of seven seats in Precinct 2. She finished first of 16 candidates, receiving 539 votes (20.6%). Stein was reelected in 2008, finishing second of 13 vying for eight seats.
I don’t find anything “inconvenient” about acknowledging both local elections she won. If anything, it bolsters their position. She should run for Mayor or perhaps state senate. The two elections she actually won demonstrate just how comically unqualified Jill Stein is for the presidency.
She’s won local elections, and you don’t go from local to president. Until the Greens realize this and start building from the ground up in every state, they’re nothing more than a joke.
she has run in other elections and won, but it’s inconvenient to this line of attack to acknowledge it
