> Green MP Chlöe [Swarbrick](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/okay-chloe-the-potential-contenders-to-be-greens-co-leader-and-why-they-might-be-right-for-the-role/MRF73N35LVEDLJKURNSJCGJGHE/?ref=goodoil.news) has announced she will run for the Green Party’s leadership.  
>  
> Swarbrick confirmed she would contest the co-leadership position from Parliament today, saying that in the three days since [James Shaw announced he was stepping down from the role](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/james-shaw-resigns-from-green-party-co-leadership/GXXBLUM6LVHWLC64JR7JCLRPEY/?ref=goodoil.news), people had asked her to put her name forward for it.  
>  
> “I’m stepping up,” Swarbrick said, after acknowledging she’s had conversations with all of her caucus alongside family and friends.  
>  
> Swarbrick is the only declared candidate so far. Green MP Julie Anne Genter, who ran for the co-leadership in 2018 confirmed to the *Herald,* she would not be running. Other members of caucus had not put their hands up.  
>  
> The co-leadership is decided by Green Party members. By convention, MPs do not say who they are supporting or endorse particular candidates.  
>  
> She promised to grow the Green Party and revealed her ultimate goal: “the nation’s first Green-led government.”  
>  
> “I am a proud member of the Green Party. More than any other party we understand that there is far greater leadership out there in the community than there is in the so-called halls of power. I am here to serve my communities. Over the past three days, they have asked me to stand up and put myself forward for this role,” Swarbrick said.
