North Carolina Green Party

The party ran a write-in campaign for former Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney for U.S. president in 2008. As only 158 votes for McKinney were reported,[10] the party questioned the counting of the votes and if all were counted.[11]

In 2016, the party came close to gaining statewide ballot access, closer than the other six new parties, but still fell short of getting the required amount of signatures.[12] The party, in collaboration with the Stein/Baraka presidential campaign, helped garner more write-in votes for Jill Stein than any presidential write-in candidate has ever received in North Carolina.[13]

In 2010, Richard Weir ran as a Green write-in candidate for the NC Senate in Pitt County[14]

In 2013, Michael Zytkow ran for the Charlotte City Council seat representing District 4 as an independent with the Green Party's endorsement. [15] Zytkow garnered 33% of the vote. [16]

On June 22, 2017, the Western chapter of the party endorsed Dee Williams for Asheville City Council[17]

In June of 2018, NCGP nominated Keenen Altic to run in the Forsyth County Commissioner At-Large race and he accepted choosing to run as a Green.[18] 'Speaking of his first time running in politics and the first time the Green Party has run in Forsyth County, Altic said, “Having 4,500 or more votes demonstrates that there is a certain viability to our message. We have at least 4,500 or more potential socialists ready to organize.”'[19] At 4,756 votes he received 3.5% of the vote in a three way race.[20] Altic's campaign distributed about 5,000 leaflets and candidate cards.
