Pretty much ANYBODY can run for high office as a Green candidate. Years ago I was talking to a couple of Greens at an event in the park who had a table where they were handing out campaign literature. After a while, one of them stated that they didn’t have a candidate for Lieutenant Governor and asked if I would be interested in running for that office as a Green. I could have been their nominee after just talking to a couple of them for a few minutes.
I know a guy who became the Green Party’s Judge of Elections based on ONE write-in vote. He had no idea he had even won until the county sent him a certified letter.
did you regret it? ;)
