Massachusetts Secretary of the Commonwealth, 2006
She was nominated for Secretary of the Commonwealth on March 4, 2006, at the Green-Rainbow Party state-wide nominating convention.
Stein was the sole challenger to three-term incumbent Democrat Bill Galvin for the post. The general election was held on November 7, 2006. Stein was able to capitalize of this head to head match up and received 353,551 votes for 18% of the total vote.[1] Jill's 18% marks the best finish for a Green Party candidate running for Secretary of State in any state to date.
Town Meeting Seat, 2005 and 2008
Stein was elected to the Town Meeting Seat, Precinct 2 (N. Waltham, Middlesex County) in March 2005 local elections. She finished first of 16 candidates running for 7 seats receiving 539 votes, for 20.6% of the total vote. Stein was re-elected in 2008 finishing second of thirteen vying for eight seats [2].
Governor, 2010
On February 8, 2010, Stein officially announced her entrance into the governor's race on the steps of the Masscahusetts State House in Boston.[7] She is joined in this race by her running mate for Lieutenant Governor Richard P. Purcell, a surgery clerk and ergonomics assessor, of Holyoke. [8]
