The Vermont Secretary of State has posted a list of candidates for November 2022. See here, and then click on “General Election Candidate Listing.”
The Progressive Party is running its own member, David Zuckerman, for another term as Lieutenant Governor. He was the Lieutenant Governor 2016-2020, but then he didn’t run for re-election in 2020. Instead he ran for Governor, but he did not win.
The Progressive Party also has eight legislative candidates who are party members, the smallest number of its own member-candidates for the legislature that it has run since 1998. In 2020 it had 18 member-candidates for the legislature. Of course, it also cross-endorsed some Democratic nominees this year as it always does.
The Libertarian Party has a candidate for U.S. House, one member-candidate for the legislature, and it also cross-endorsed five Republican nominees for the legislature.
The Green Mountain Peace & Justice Party, formerly Liberty Union, has nominees for U.S. Senate and Lieutenant Governor, but none for any other federal or state office.
Washington state has 123 legislative seats up for election in November 2022. Of those, there is a Republican-Democratic contest in only 71 races. In the remaining 52 races, either there is only one person on the ballot, or there are two candidates from the same party, or (in six races) there is a major party nominee and an independent candidate.
By contrast, in 2020, when there were also 123 seats up, there were only 33 races without a Democratic-Republican contest. The main difference between the two years is that Democrats are in so many fewer races this year than in 2020. Among the 2020 House races this year, there is no Democrat in 23 races, out of a total of 98 House races.
The West Virginia Secretary of State has posted a list of November 2022 candidates. West Virginia has no statewide offices up in 2022, so the only federal and state offices are two U.S. House seats, State Senate, and House of Delegates.
The Libertarian Party has four legislative nominees, and the Mountain Party (the Green Party affiliate) has two legislative nominees.
The Americans Coming Together Party has a nominee for U.S. House, and three for the legislature. The ACT Party was formerly the Independent Party, but it changed its name in 2021. Two of its nominees are using the “ACT” label, and two are using “independent” as a ballot label.
Here is the party’s website, listing its nominees.
The Albany Times-Union has this story about the New York Libertarian Party’s ballot access lawsuit in state court. The case was argued in the State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, on September 8. The article was published in advance of the hearing, so it doesn’t describe how the hearing went. Sharpe v New York State Board of Elections, 535599.
