<div class="gmail_quote">Green Greetings,<br><br>The mini-election on November 3rd went pretty well, we had an 80% success rate for the local ballot measures we endorsed. Statewide, Greens now make up a majority on the Fairfax Town Council in Marin
County, where Pam Hartwell-Herrero finished 1st out of 7 candidates!
