Welcome to the website of DC's official second party.

It's time to give attention to the second party in DC... The Statehood-Greens. After squashing the third-party GOP in the 2006 election cycle, almost doubling them in total votes, our party is determined to win major victories.

The republicrats are not the answer...take a look around our site to see what makes us different. Our platform clearly shows where we stand on important issues such as healthcare, living wages, the environment, and other community matters important to everyday people. We are not a corporate party and thus none of our candidates or officers accept corporate bribes. We look forward to building our peace party with you.

Statehood Now!

Statehood Greens: Del. Norton & Dems abandon DC statehood in platform draft

The Green Party is the sole party on the DC ballot that supports statehood for the District; Statehood Greens, DC's 'Second Party,' will carry the banner for DC statehood in the 2008 election; since the 'Shadow' Representative and Senator seats were created to lobby for DC statehood, Democratic candidates for these positions will be delinquent in their responsibility if they follow Del. Norton's call to drop the demand for statehood
