Zeese went on to finish third with over 25,000 votes.[5] That same year Green Ed Boyd became the first African-American candidate for Governor of Maryland. He received approximately 15,000 votes.
In November 2007, Gary Hull became the first Green officeholder in Maryland, being elected to the Sharpsburg Town Council.[6]
In April 2007, Mike Cornell was elected to the Columbia City Council, an unincorporated community run by a nonprofit homeowners association known as the Columbia Association in Columbia. Up until 2015, Cornell was one of 10 representatives that form the Columbia Council. Residents elect council representatives from each of Columbia's nine villages and Town Center.[7]
