Jill Stein

Jill Ellen Stein (born May 14, 1950) is an American physician, activist, and political candidate. She was the Green Party's nominee for president of the United States in the 2012 and 2016 elections and the Green-Rainbow Party's candidate for governor of Massachusetts in 2002 and 2010.

During her campaigns for president, she campaigned on the theme of a Green New Deal which included a number of reforms to address climate change and income inequality, as well as civil and political rights reform. In 2012, Stein received 0.36 percent of the popular vote; in 2016, she received 1.07 percent of the popular vote.

In 2023, it was announced that Stein would help run Cornel West's 2024 Green Party campaign for president, challenging President Joe Biden. After West withdrew from the Green Party to continue his campaign as an independent, Stein launched her own campaign for the Green Party's 2024 presidential nomination.
