Yes. In California’s 2026 elections, Green Party–identified candidates ran for statewide, legislative, city, school-board, and special-district offices.
Examples include:
- Marjorie Mikels — Attorney General
- Michael Feinstein and Gary Blenner — Secretary of State
- Glen Turner — State Treasurer
- Rudolph “Butch” Ware — Governor (write-in)
- Chris Richardson — U.S. House, District 3
- Mark Rendón — State Assembly, District 14
- Victor Hernandez — State Assembly, District 59
- Kenneth Mejia — Los Angeles City Controller
- Dan Kapelovitz — Los Angeles County Superior Court judge
- Jordan Rivers — Los Angeles City Council, District 15
For the November 3 general election, the state Green Party listed at least 25 Green candidates, including Rendón and Hernandez for Assembly, several city-council candidates, school-board candidates, and candidates for community-services, water, sanitation, harbor, and conservation boards.
California’s nonpartisan local offices do not display party labels on the ballot, so some candidates were identified as registered Greens rather than appearing with a Green Party designation.
Currently, how well did any of those candidates in that list fare in their campaigns for office on 3 November 2026?

Most of the candidates on that list did not reach the November 3 general election, as they were eliminated during the June 2 primary.
The results for those specific candidates were as follows:
