Scott McLarty has been the media coordinator for the Green Party of the United States since April 2000. He writes press releases and official media responses for the party, speaks at political events, hosts press conferences at national party meetings and conventions, and co-chairs the national Media Committee.

McLarty has had articles, guest columns, and book reviews published in Roll Call, Z Magazine, Green Horizon, The Progressive Review, In These Times, and several local and community publications and small press. In November 2006, he was interviewed on C-SPAN's 'Washington Journal' on the role of the Green Party in the 2006 election, and has spoken on numerous radio shows and panels on progressive third party politics and the emergence of the Green Party.

McLarty grew up in Long Island, New York, and now lives in Washington, DC. He joined the Green Party in 1996 after joining the Nader campaign that year, and in 1998 he ran for the Ward 1 seat on the Washington, D.C. City Council. In 1999, he helped negotiate the merger of the DC Green Party and the DC Statehood Party, which was founded in 1970 by local civil rights leaders in Washington, DC. After the merger, he became media coordinator for the DC Statehood Green Party.
