		<description>Of the 27 Indy Green Endorsed/nominated candidates.....20 of them garnered over 1,000 votes each. In comparable races between this year and 2007; races in which the same candidate ran for the same seat we see the following.

District 28 a gain of 4,419 votes over 2007
District 68 a gain of 6,608 votes over 2007

In 2007 both of these races were contested by more than one challenger; this year our candidates were the only challengers.</description>
