    They have one example in Michigan (where I live), and he ran unopposed for trustee in Fenton Township.

    Michigan has 1,240 Townships, 257 villages and 276 cities, and the greens have managed to get one position in one Township by running someone unopposed. Even the Libertarians have done better, as Wikipedia points out four current libertarian office holders in Michigan.

      Or in reality, greens have more people in office than libertarians, but more importantly that candidate was not run, he ran as a registered member. You can do the same right now. I guarantee there are ten dozen empty local government positions with 100 miles of you right now.

        In Michigan? Do they?

        Anyway I’m already participating in my local government in non-partisan positions.
