Mountain Party
The Mountain Party, also known as the West Virginia Green Party and the West Virginia Workers’ Party, is a political party in West Virginia affiliated with the Green Party of the United States.
It is a progressive and environmentalist party whose party platform primarily focuses on "Grassroots Democracy", "Social Justice & Equal Opportunity", "Ecological Wisdom" and "Non-Violence".
The Mountain Party was created largely in response to the conservative tilt of the West Virginia Democratic Party, and was born out of Denise Giardina's gubernatorial campaign in 2000.
Today, the party is chaired by Dylan Parsons.
In 2016, the party ran former state senator Charlotte Pritt for Governor of West Virginia. This led to growth for the party. She received nearly 6% of the vote, the highest ever for a Mountain Party gubernatorial candidate.
In 2018, the Mountain Party elected Betsy Orndoff-Sayers as Mayor of Wardensville winning 55.7% of the vote and was re-elected without a challenger in 2022.
In 2022, House of Delegates candidate Dylan Parsons was endorsed by two members of the Morgantown City Council, former Democratic nominees for Congress Mike Manypenny and Sue Thorn, Conservation District Supervisor and Executive Director of the West Virginia Farmers Market Association Holly Morgan, and the organization WV Can't Wait.
In 2024, Wardensville mayor Betsy Orndoff-Sayers sought election to the West Virginia Senate. Orndoff-Sayers received the endorsement of Planned Parenthood Votes South Atlantic, WV Can’t Wait, and former Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Zachary Shrewsbury.
