The Green Party of New Jersey seeks and recruits candidates for local, statewide and federal 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!
