Two Progressive Party members of the Vermont House are running for re-election and they have no ballot-listed opponents. They are Mollie S. Burke of Brattleboro, and Sandy Haas of Rochester.
In 2010, Haas did have opponents but she won with 52.8% of the vote. Burke was unopposed in 2010.
In 2010, the Progressive Party elected five members of the Vermont legislature. Vermont has fusion, and this list only includes the Progressive Party nominees who chose to list the Progressive Party first on the ballot. In Vermont, when a candidate is nominated by two parties, the candidate indicates to the public his or her primary affiliation by choosing one party to be listed first on the ballot. This year, the Progressive Party has 13 candidates for the legislature whose primary loyalty is to the Progressive Party. The party will probably elect five or six of its nominees.
Morgan is right.
Actually three have no ballot-listed opponents. Incumbent Chris Pearson of Burlington represents a two seat district, and he and the incumbent Dem are the only names on the ballot.
