New Delhi: In a rare state of affairs, a 14-year-old American boy is running for governor in Vermont. 14-year-old Ethan Sonneborn, is reportedly taking advantage of a quirk in the constitution of the bucolic northeastern state that imposes no age limit on running for governor. It requires the candidate to have lived in Vermont for four years. In a crowded field of adult rivals, Sonneborn is all geared up for his campaign. His website describes him as a dedicated champion for middle and working class families. It reads: “He has the right ideas on healthcare reform, economic development and education. He’s basing his campaign off issues the matter to Vermonters, not special interests. He’s also 14 years old. We must protect Vermont from long term damaged caused by Phil Scott by uniting behind the true progressive leader in this race, regardless of his age. Ethan has practical ideas to make Vermont a better place to live and work” The website further states that Ethan is running for governor because he believes Vermont need a people powered movement to reform politics. “He believes that people should control government, not vice versa. He understands Vermont Values. Values like strong communities with strong work ethic. We need new leadership and Ethan has the understanding of policy, the dedication and the commitment to Vermont values” the website reads. As per reports, his campaign has attracted calls for Vermont lawmakers to close the loophole.
