In California, 16 Greens were elected to local office this week - a record number for a local election year, with 90% of incumbent Green officeholders winning re-election.

Cam Gordon was re-elected to the Minneapolis City Council, a seat he has held since 2006.

In Maine, Anna Trevorrow was elected to the School Board in Portland and Josh Plourde was elected to the City Council in Bangor.
