STOWE, Vt. (AP) -- Looking back, gubernatorial candidate Dean Roy says his political ambitions started in the eighth grade. And by that he means, last year. After working as a legislative page at the Vermont Statehouse, the 14-year-old freshman at Stowe High School now has his sights set on the corner office. In November, he'll be the first candidate for governor under age 18 to appear on the state's general election ballot. "I don't expect necessarily to win," he said. "What I do expect is to start the movement, and get more young people to come in behind me and say, Yeah, we also want to make change.'" |

"I know it sounds crazy, a 14-year-old running for governor, but honestly, look at the people in charge right now," Roy said in a post on his campaign's Instagram page. "They've been doing this forever and things still aren't working." Comments
