Independent Vermont State Representative Daryl L. Pillsbury had been running for the State Senate as an independent this year. But on May 14, he dropped out of the Senate race and endorsed Progressive Party nominee Molly S. Burke. See this story.
Pillsbury has represented Brattleboro as an independent since 2000. He is currently one of the two independents in the Vermont House.
Although the Vermont House has had dozens of minor party and independent members in the last few decades, the Vermont Senate has been composed only of Democrats and Republicans, ever since the 1867 election. The Senate is much smaller than the House; the Senate has 30 members but the House has 150.
It nice to see articles about all the 3rd parties and not just the Libertarian Party as is the case with the mis-named 3rd Party Watch site.
