Fails to meet WP:POLITICIAN. Acebulf (talk) 01:54, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak keep - WP:POLITICIAN qualifies "Major figures in national or first-level sub-national political races." 8.8% voter support for United States representative and 6.4% and 9.3% for governor of Maine doesn't seem to be a minor figure. A perennial losing candidate, but not a non-notable one. -kotra (talk) 02:11, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * keep Jonathan Carter (politician) is an important figure in the early history of the Green Party of the United States and the Maine Green Independent Party. Carter's campaigns marked a major point in the green movement when many figures moved away from pure activism towards electoral politics. His 6.4% and 9.3% for governor of Maine are notable totals for third party candidates. The Carter campaigns also helped develop the Maine Green Independent Party to being the nations largest third party by percentage of the electorate with 31,676 registrants in the state comprising 3.19% of the electorate .
