Power to the People
Government should be made up of regular folks representing their communities. We need you to step up and be a voice for yours.
I know; there's already an election in progress. But it's never too soon to start thinking about the next one! We are excited to talk to you about the possibility of becoming a Green Party candidate in 2019.
Government should be representative of, and accountable to, the people. Yet, more and more we end up with governments that cater to the powerful and wealthy and ignore the needs and interests of the rest of us. Whatever our political leanings, unless we are part of the top inner circle, we are all suffering under the chokehold of the establishment and the unfair and undemocratic electoral system that it maintains.
If you've ever thought about running, now is the time to explore that. The establishment is getting stronger and harsher and less representative every year. We need YOU to help us bring power and democracy back to the people.

The Green Party of New Jersey seeks and recruits candidates for local and statewide offices every year. We look for candidates who understand that the Green Party is anti-establishment and operates independently of any other party.
In addition, the Green Party of NJ seeks candidates who will uphold the Green Party's values of economic justice, grassroots democracy, social justice, non-violence, ecology, sustainability, decentralization, gender
equality, diversity, and responsibility.

Candidates should also choose New Jersey specific issues to focus on during their campaign.
While prospective candidates do not need campaign experience, we do hope all prospective candidates and their campaign staff are willing to be trained and learn along the way. The Green Party of New Jersey, and
its local affiliates where applicable, will vet every candidate. GPNJ will provide resources and training for a successful campaign.
Remember, the Green Party does not take corporate donations, so big money will not be pouring in. It is important to start campaigning and fundraising early in order to give your campaign a head start.
Complete this intake form ASAP to move forward with the vetting process!
