The election history of Mark Greene, chairman of the Party of Commons.
1976 - Michigan House of Representatives - Lost D Primary with 12% of the vote.
1985 - City Council (Minneapolis, MN) - Lost General Election with 12% of the vote.
1986 - U.S. House of Representatives [Minnesota, 5th CD] - Lost General Election with 1.4% of the vote.
2000 - U.S. House of Representatives [Alaska, at large] - Won free-for-all (open) Primary with 32.4% of the vote (winner of the last statewide Alaskan open primary); lost General Election with 17% of the vote.
2002 - U.S. House of Representatives [Alaska, at large] - Won D Primary with 64.5% of the vote; lost General Election with 17% of the vote.
2004 - U.S. House of Representatives [Washington, 9th CD] - Won R Primary with probably 50% to 53% of the vote.* Official results were disputed, although belatedly, and Mark's opponent, Paul Lord, an unwitting beneficiary of probable election fraud, was proclaimed the official winner with an alleged 53% of the vote, and Mark with allegedly no more than 47% (the election was probably stolen from Greene), see "Commoner" for details (largely, Sept. & Oct., 2010 publications). Lord lost General Election to Adam Smith.
2006 - The Secretary of State of Washington, Sam Reed, disqualified Mark from a U.S. Senate primary, because of an alleged lack of sufficient valid signatures on election candidacy petition. Mark disputed the disqualification, but court ruled against him; Mark did not appeal.
2007 - City Council (Newcastle, WA) - Lost Primary with 6% of the vote.
2008 - Secretary of State [Washington] - Lost Primary with 2% of the vote.
2009 - King County, WA Council [9th Council District] - Lost Primary with 8% of the vote. Ran for King County Sheriff as a write-in after the Primary, and candidacy became embroiled in a constitutional dispute with King County Elections for their not giving the write-in filing an official imprimatur, a.k.a. "declared" write-in candidacy, but court ruled in county's favor; Mark did not appeal.
2010 - King County Elections disqualified Mark from a Washington House of Representatives Primary through arbitrary rulemaking that enabled the finding of an astounding 38% error rate on the election candidacy petition (the petition could have survived a 26% error rate); the case was disputed and went to court, which ruled in county's favor; Mark did not appeal.
2011 - King County (Washington) Director of Elections - Lost General Election with 22% of the vote.
2012 - Lieutenant Governor [Washington] - Lost Primary with 3.4% of the vote.
2013 - City Council (Newcastle, WA) - Lost General Election with 17% of the vote.
2014 - U.S. House of Representatives [Washington, 9th CD] - Lost Primary with 3% of the vote.
*Disputed election.
Note I: Mark, his middle name, ran under his first name, Clifford, or first and middle names, in all elections prior to 2004, or in all elections other than in Washington.
Note II: To clear up misinformation about the 2000 & 2002 campaigns elsewhere on the internet, Mark didn't win primaries in Alaska because people liked his name as an ill-informed source put it; but in separate campaigns totaling about a year long altogether, Mark brought forth economically progressive ideas and an anti-interventionist ethos in public speeches, TV & radio appearances, and his writings in the largest land area state in the union.
