Hey Phoenix — I’m Linda Johnson and I’m running for mayor as a Green with @ArizonaGP.
I’m doing this for my 5-year-old daughter, Lilly.
She deserves clean air, reliable water, affordable housing, and a livable city NOT more extreme heat and corporate priorities.

I’ve done a lot of reflecting about this since I announced my candidacy. I truly don’t care if you changed your vote, Liana. Stop writing about yourself in the third person. And never pretend to represent me as a registered Green.
@Lin4AZCongress@GreenPartyUS Liana changed her vote to Yes. Please stop slandering her. "The New Arizona Green Party" is a fraudulent organization that is not officially recognized by the @GreenPartyUS. They supported fraudulent candidates put up by @AZGOP which allegedly defrauded the @AZCCEC out of money
Thank you to our dear friends at @PartyAlaska.
Fun fact:
The Green Party of Alaska was the first Green Party in the United States to ever achieve ballot status.
They were also the first state Green Party expelled by @GreenPartyUS while @HowieHawkins had full control of the party.
We believe that without the events of October 7th and the following expedited genocide, Howie would have gotten his way again.
Thank God he didn’t.
I, William Josué Pounds IV, am seeking nomination and election as a Co-Chair of the @GreenPartyUS for the 2027 term.
My story of Green leadership begins in 2020, when I chaired the Jesse Ventura/Cynthia McKinney Green presidential effort. It has been a story of trial and error ever since.
After the 2021 youth caucus Green presidential nominee reunion held to repudiate McKinney and the expulsions of the Green parties of Alaska and Georgia, I set off to start a failed Independent Green Party nationally.
After that failure, I met the inventor of email, Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai (@va_shiva), and joined his independent 2024 presidential ballot drive. He was the first naturalized citizen to be printed on the ballot for president — as all citizens, except dual citizens, should have the right to run. Dr. Shiva was not born here, but he has only one loyalty, and that is to this nation.
After my presidential campaign work with Shiva, I set out to run for Governor under the @AZGreenParty banner. That banner didn’t want me, so I designed a new Green banner in Arizona, the @ArizonaGP, and became its chairman.
During my tenure as chairman of the New Arizona Green Party, our gubernatorial candidate Risa Lombardo commanded the largest 2026 Green budget in the country. Our congressional candidate David Redkey delivered the strongest Green congressional performance in the country. Dwayne Collier became the first African-American ever nominated for Secretary of State in Arizona.
And we declared Zionism as racism as a sovereign, independent Green Party.
I am still haunted by the sour feelings and consequences that culminated from my partial 2020 loss. But seeing the GPUS majority stand against Howie Hawkins and Liana West (who does not represent us) on the issue of Zionism being racism has truly heartened me.
I am also encouraged by my Arizona rival Gary Swing’s resignation and sarcastic endorsement of me for GPUS Co-Chair.
So, I’m trying my luck.
