DescriptionRunning a gubernatorial campaign can be tiring, but generally an incumbent governor can expect four years in office before facing the judgement of the electorate. Such is not the case for Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin. Vermont is one of only two states that elects its governor every year.[1]
In last year’s Democratic primary election he eked out a victory, winning the five-way race by just 197 votes. He defeated then-Lieutenant Governor Brian Dubie in the general election by a 1.8 point margin.[2] Although it’s still early in the game, this year’s race isn’t looking any easier for the first term Democratic incumbent.
