Welcome to the official site of the Polk County Green Party! The Polk County Green Party is the local branch of the Green Party of the United States. As citizen activists, we believe that people need more than two choices at the ballot box. The Greens are the only political party with a progressive, people-oriented agenda. To reach that goal, we do not accept **ANY** special interest money: no corporate donations, no PAC funds, nothing.
