Jill Stein, a physician from Massachusetts, is seeking the nomination of the Green Party of the United States for President in 2016. In 2012, Stein was the Green Party's nominee and received 469,627 votes for President of the United States in the 2012 general election.[2]

She officially declared she was running for president for a second time during an appearance on Democracy Now! on June 22, 2015.[3]

Background

Stein speaking at a campaign event in Mesa, Arizona.

On February 6, 2015, Stein announced the formation of an exploratory committee for a campaign for the Green Party's presidential nomination in 2016.[4] In a June 2015 interview on The Alan Colmes Show, Stein said that she would announce her intention to run for President "certainly before the summer is up, probably a lot sooner than that".[5] On June 6, 2015 Stein spoke at the kickoff event for Socialist Alternative member and Seattle City Councilor Kshama Sawant.[6] Sawant and Socialist Alternative were supporters of Stein's 2012 presidential bid.[7][8]

In December 2015, Stein took part in the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 21) in Paris, speaking at several forums.[9][10] That same month, Stein took part in Russia Today TV's tenth anniversary celebration conference in Moscow, speaking alongside international leaders.[11][12] On February 24, Stein was invited to speak at the Oxford Union at the University of Oxford in England.[13][14]

Stein began taking part in the 2016 Green Party presidential primaries in February 2016. Stein was immediately the front-runner and was described by the media as "steamrolling to victory."[15]

Fundraising

In an e-mail to supporters on June 10, 2015, Stein wrote "I’m preparing to make a big announcement next week." She also challenged her supporters to raise $10,000 in that time period. Two days later on June 12, Stein's campaign sent another e-mail indicating that she had surpassed that goal and raised her fundraising goal to $30,000. Stein noted that she would seek to qualify for matching funds from the federal government by raising at least $5,000 from residents of 20 states before receiving the nomination in 2016. The e-mail indicated that she had already raised more than the requisite amount from residents of California and that Washington State, New York, and others were very close behind.[16] In September, Stein's campaign said they had met the $5,000 mark in five states (California, Florida, Massachusetts, New York, and Washington) and had received at least half of that amount in eight others.[17]

As of November 22, 2015, Stein's campaign had surpassed the requisite fundraising totals in at least 9 states. On November 28, Richard Winger of Ballot Access News reported that Stein would likely qualify for the initial public funding before January 1, 2016.[18] However, on January 3, Ballot Access News reported that Stein's campaign had only qualified in 13 states. It said that the campaign was trying to qualify in 8 others.[19] On January 8, Stein's campaign announced it had enough contributions to qualify for FEC funds.[20] Nevertheless, the campaign did not submit its request for matching funds and accompanying documentation until March 28, after which the FEC declared Stein eligible for matching funds on April 14, 2016.[21]
