KW: For the past few weeks, the national Green Party web-site featured five Green Party candidates running on June 9th for local office in Maine and Massachusetts. According to the front page update today, four out of five won their races. [Also, I confirmed via a phone number at the Portland Charter Commission web-site that Ben Chipman and Anna Trevorrow were elected.]

Elected were: Anna Treverrow for Portland Charter Commission in Maine; Ben Chipman for Portland Charter Commission in Maine; and Joyce Palmer-Fortune for Wheatley Select Board in Franklin County, Massachusetts.

Re-elected was: Nat Fortune for Wheatley Elementary School Committee in Franklin County, Massachusetts.

Dan Jenkins was a Green candidate from Maine who did not win his race.
