In 2020, the leadership of the Green Party of Alaska refused to place Green Party nominees Howie Hawkins and Angela Nicole Walker on the ballot and instead draft-nominated a ticket with Jesse Ventura for president and Cynthia McKinney for vice-president. McKinney accepted the vice-presidential nomination.[4] Because of this, the Green Party of the United States national committee voted in January 2021 to decertify the GPAK.[5][1][2]
