Based on unofficial results from the
Nov 4th election, the Green Party of Allegheny County has re-gained minor party status within Allegheny County.
This is how it works:
Titus North, Green Party candidate for Congress (14th District;
all within Allegheny County) received:
22,916 votes (8.7%)
And, the highest winning candidate total for Allegheny:
Jack Wagner (Auditor General) = 438,475 Allegheny Co.votes
438,475 x 5% = 21,924
Titus exceeded 5% of Wagner's Allegheny County total so...
we made it!
Also, our candidates for the PA Legislature had impressive
results:
Mary E (Liz) Hughes (Green, 23rd District): 13.2%
Liz's percentage is the highest Green Party result in PA for 2008.
Jonah McAllister-Erickson (Green, 21st District): 7.1 %
Jonah's percentage is an increase from his 2004 results;
significant for this year and the fact that it was a 3-way race.
Congratulations and Thank You to all Green candidates in PA!
