Teen Governor Vermont

Another teen is running for governor of Vermont, and this time, he'll be on the general election ballot. In 2018, an eighth-grader sought the Democratic nomination for governor but finished last in a four-way primary. Now, 14-year-old Dean Roy is the candidate, and he secured his spot on the ballot by creating the Freedom and Unity Party. Both were able to run because the state constitution sets no minimum age for gubernatorial candidates. Roy says he doesn't expect to win but he wants to start a movement and get more young people involved in changing the world.
