Green Party members holding elected office
Greens have run for office since the first Green Parties were founded in Tasmania and New Zealand in 1972. The first Green elected was Helen Smith in 1973 when she won a seat on the Porirua City Council (New Zealand.) The first Green elected to a national parliament was Daniel Brelaz of Switzerland in 1979.
Since then, Greens have been elected to thousands of seats around the globe in local government. On the national level, Greens hold a total of 285 seats as of July 2009: 234 seats in 16 European nations and another 50 in Australia (5), Brazil (14), México (22), Mongolia (1) and New Zealand (9). There are also 46 Greens holding seats in the 736-member European Parliament.
Most Greens elected on the state, national or international level have been elected through systems of proportional representation. However some Greens have been elected directly in single-seat districts/electorates/ridings. On the national level they include: Janette Fitzsimmons (Coromandel, New Zealand, 1999), Hans-Christian Ströbele (Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany, 2002, 2005, 2009) and several Mexican Greens. On the state level they include Adele Carles (Freemantle, Western Australia, 2009), Audie Bock (District 16, California, United States, 1999) and John Eder (Districts 31 and 118, Portland, Maine, United States, 2002, 2004)
