translated from Spanish: Vermont: Candidate for Governor has fourteen

BURLINGTON, Vermont, USA (AP) — one of the four Democrats seeking the party’s nomination in Vermont for the post of Governor does not have the age necessary to vote, not even to handle. You might want: the Popocatépetl dawn covered in snow in midsummer Ethan Sonneborn, of 14 years, of Bristol, complied with the requirements to be on the primary ballot and shall be measured with the other State candidates, who are older than him, in the primary of the Tuesday, as well as in various forums and election-year debates.

Sonneborn meets that requirement.
This apparent lack of clarity of the founders of the State, more than 225 years ago, it was enough to make the politically precocious boy feel encouraged to collect the required signatures to be included on the ballot for the primary.

He said that he has always fascinated the concept of creating coalitions. For him, Robert F. Kennedy is the most representative of this politician. Sonneborn said that his decision to run came from their frustration with State and national politics. The teenager found out that Yes it could run, and then decided to do it as a visceral reaction to the clashes by racial issues in Charlottesville, Virginia, a year ago. Your financial July report reflects that Ethan has raised just more than $1,700, insufficient to make it competitive in a world where successful candidates will no doubt have to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars, or more so, in ads, mailing costs staff and various expenses before the November general election. However, while it does not have much money, Ethan already has been on stage with the other democratic candidates of Vermont.En this note: Vermont United States Ethan Sonneborn Bristol
