2024 Vermont gubernatorial election (Rise of the Nerds)

Part of the Rise of the Nerds Series

2024 Vermont gubernatorial election: Vermont is a weird state in the Union with it having one of the lowest GDPs out of all the states, it has their statewide elections every two years, it is a Democratic state but with a liberal Republican Governor, having a three party system between the Republicans, Democrats, and the Vermont Progressive Party, and it having no age limit for running for state-wide office. In 2018, a 13-year old boy named Ethan Sonneborn from Vermont ran in the Democratic Party primary under a left-wing platform. In 2022, a boy named Jackson Williams from Las Vegas ran for governor as a write-in candidate. His candidacy was followed by 5 other high school students. The current governor is Phil Scott (Rep) who is on the left-wing of the party. He won his last election with 69% of the popular vote. The rest of the state is under control by the Democratic and Progressive Party of Vermont.
