Oregon Greens to Run Full Slate of Congressional Candidates for First Time Ever

The Oregon Green Party, which is called the Pacific Green Party, held a nominating convention on June 7, and will hold a second such convention on August 16. At the first convention, it nominated a candidate for four of Oregon’s five U.S. House seats. At its second convention, it will nominate someone for the remaining seat, as well as a candidate for U.S. Senate.

One of the party’s candidates, Michael Beilstein in the 4th district, is a city council member in Corvallis. The Pacific Green Party has never run more than two U.S. House candidates in any previous particular election, so the full slate this year is unusual for the party. In 2006 it had one U.S. House candidate; it had none in 2004, 2002, and 2000. The party’s website is www.pacificgreens.org.
