The Green Party of Alaska (GPAK) is a political party in the U.S. state of Alaska. It was the Alaska affiliate of the Green Party of the United States from 2001 until 2021. Alaska was the first state in which the Green Party gained ballot access when Jim Sykes ran for governor of Alaska in 1990. Sykes had previously filed a ballot access lawsuit, citing an earlier case, Vogler v. Miller.
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. Because of this, the Green Party of the United States national committee voted in January 2021 to decertify the GPAK.
