Dean Roy, a 14-year-old freshman at Stowe High School, is running for governor in Vermont, becoming the first candidate under age 18 to appear on the state's general election ballot. The state constitution does not set a minimum age for gubernatorial candidates, only requires candidates to have resided in the state for four years. Roy, who has previously worked as a legislative page at the Vermont Statehouse and is aiming to start a movement that seeks to disrupt career politicians. He also expressed his desire to show that youth have a voice in politics. However, Peter Teachout, a professor at Vermont Law and Graduate School, disagrees with Roy's interpretation of the constitution. The current governor, Republican Phil Scott, also questioned whether Roy's experience or readiness for the role.
