“We are seeking the endorsement of the Green Party of New Jersey for this year’s campaign,” said Madelyn Hoffman, “to build off our record-setting 2020 campaign. We received 38,288 votes, the highest ever for a Green Party candidate running for U.S. Senate in New Jersey. The only candidate running statewide in New Jersey to have performed better was Ralph Nader in the presidential election of 2000. As a party, we have grown by 260% since 2017!”
