Background

The Green Party has run candidates for president in every election since 1996. Consumer advocate Ralph Nader was the party's nominee in 1996 and 2000. Political activist David Cobb was nominated in 2004; former U.S. congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was the nominee in 2008; activist Jill Stein was nominated in 2012 and 2016; and perennial candidate Howie Hawkins ran for president in 2020. Nader's 2.7% in 2000 remains the largest percentage of the vote any Green Party presidential candidate has ever won, and no third-party presidential candidate has carried any state in the Electoral College since 1968.^[3]
