Randy Toler (born c. 1965) is an American candidate and political activist. He claimed to have founded the Green Party of the United States when he was 17 years old, [1] but this is disputed by the Green Party's official account. [2]
Toler ran for school board in Hillsborough County, Florida in 2014 and 2016, losing both elections. [3] He has filed paperwork to run in both the 2024 Green Party presidential primaries and the Green Party nomination for the 2024 United States Senate election in Florida. [4] [5] He has claimed to have run for many other offices, including Mayor of Chicago, Governor, and US Congress. [6]
Toler is a current co-chair of the Green Party of Florida. [7]
Toler has claimed to have founded the Green Party of the United States as a teenager in the 1970s. [8] According to Toler, the party stuck mostly to the west coast for its first few years. [9] In 1983, the party went national, opting to endorse Walter Mondale's unsuccessful presidential run instead of running its own candidate. [1] This led to a conflict with the Citizen's Party over which party would represent the US Green Party abroad. [9]
Toler's account has been disputed. [6] The Green Party's official account credits Alan Philbrook and John Rensenbrink for founding the Maine Green Party in 1984, which led to the national party being organized several years later. [2]
Toler ran for school board for Hillsborough County Public Schools district on a platform calling for greater resources for special needs students. [10] He finished in 6th place. [3]
