[51][52] Alaska was the first state to gain Green Party ballot access, in 1990, when Jim Sykes ran for governor.
Sykes had previously filed a ballot access lawsuit, citing an earlier case, Vogler v. Miller.
The party sued and won at the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.
The party was founded in summer 2020, originally as a small group of supporters of the Hawkins-Walker 2020 campaign in Rhode Island.
They then proceeded to file a complaint with the Accreditation Committee of the Green Party of the United States.
As of 2011, it bills itself as a "fiscally conservative, socially responsible green party", with an emphasis on rail transportation and "more candidates".
