Candidate Information

Samantha Hull, Colorado
I was born in February 1986 in Fort Pierce, Florida, and currently reside in Colorado Springs, Colorado. A lifelong activist, I began organizing in 2007, first taking on the Church of Scientology's abusive practices including blackmail, imprisonment, and forced family separation. That same year, I became active in the Palestinian liberation movement and began organizing marches across South Florida in support of Gaza and the West Bank.

By 2012, I expanded advocacy to include food sovereignty and corporate accountability, organizing with the March Against Monsanto. I have never voted for or registered with the Democratic or Republican Parties. From early adulthood, I believed the two parties functioned as a unified system of corruption and control.

I discovered the Green Party in 2016 and immediately registered Green, becoming a volunteer and county coordinator for the Jill Stein/Ajamu Baraka campaign. That same year, My family and I were targeted by Canary Mission and alt-right extremists in Florida, enduring nearly a year of in-person threats, harassment, and coordinated attacks. With no protection from local law enforcement, my family fled to Colorado in search of safety.

I remained deeply committed to Green organizing and became an early supporter of the 2024 Stein/Ware campaign. My husband & I launched a nightly livestream to recruit volunteers and educate the public on the Green Party platform. In 2024, I was officially hired by the campaign as the Southwest Regional Coordinator.

I played a key role in organizing the major Phoenix rally with "Abandon Harris," and helped lead three successful events in Denver for Jill Stein. In 2024, I was appointed Treasurer of the GCCC, taking over during a time of serious dysfunction: the committee had no funds, no access to its bank account, and was multiple FEC filings behind. Under my direction, the GCCC is now current with all filings, holds a stable financial reserve, and is fully operational.

I also serve as Secretary of the Green Party of Colorado. I bring unmatched and an unshakable commitment to grassroots democracy, peace, and justice. As Treasurer, I hope to bring accountability, transparency, and strategic coordination to the national Green Party's financial operations.

Mark Elbourno, North Carolina
My name is Mauamar Elbourno, though most know me as Mark Elbourno. I am a Palestinian American from Gaza, a lifelong advocate for justice, and a movement-builder with deep roots in community, accountability, and freedom. Today, I humbly offer my experience, integrity, and service as I run for Treasurer of the Green Party.

First, relevant to the Treasurer position: I have spent decades building and managing a successful small family business from the ground up. I’ve led teams, navigated complex transactions, and overseen financial operations with discipline, transparency, and results. I understand the urgency of sound fiscal stewardship—because I’ve lived it. I’ve grown our business while maintaining full regulatory and tax compliance, ensuring our team thrived in both operations and vision. This foundation directly informs how I will serve as Treasurer.

But I don’t just organize numbers. I organize people. I help build coalitions and movements.

As the Vice Chair of the North Carolina Green Party, I’ve been at the forefront of strategic organizing and internal governance. I also proudly serve as an Alternate Delegate at the national level and as President of the Arab and Muslim American Caucus in North Carolina. Through this work, I’ve collaborated closely with our NC Black Caucus and other state caucuses to strengthen the Party through unity, equity, and principled struggle. We are proving every day that solidarity isn’t just a slogan—it’s a political tool for transformation.

In 2024, I was honored to be a core volunteer in Dr. Jill Stein’s presidential campaign, taking on responsibilities in operations, coalition development, and grassroots engagement. I know how critical it is to have an organized, dynamic, and financially sound structure to power our movement—not just during election cycles, but every single day.

Knowing exactly what our Green Party is hungry for—vision, truth, courage—I proudly nominated Professor Butch Ware to join Dr. Jill Stein on the presidential ticket. When he accepted, it wasn’t just a win for the campaign—it was a seismic moment for all of us who believe liberation must be rooted in historical truth, moral clarity, and spiritual resistance. I’ve worked alongside Dr. Stein and Professor Ware, and I know firsthand what strong, principled leadership looks like. Our Party needs it. Our communities deserve it.

As Treasurer, I will bring precision, reliability, and full transparency to our financial operations. I will protect our values with the same intensity that I protect every dollar and detail in my small business.

It would be an honor to earn your vote. Together, we will continue to build the Green Party into the unapologetic, unstoppable political force it was always meant to be—accountable to the people, aligned with justice, and powered from the grassroots up.

Because unity makes us stronger—and financial integrity.
