At Least 400 LGBT Candidates Vowing Political Wave This Campaign Season
PJ Media ^ | 12 June 2018 | ROD KACKLEY

Posted on 06/13/2018 8:44:43 AM PDT by Rummyfan

Wearing a “tasteful maroon lace and sequin dress” and “surrounded by a plaid and denim-clad crowd,” the Vermont Digger reported, Christine Hallquist launched her campaign for governor of Vermont.

Hallquist is the first transgender gubernatorial candidate in the nation. She faces two other Dems in the Vermont August primary — one, a middle-school student.

The fact that she is a transgender woman comes as no surprise to voters. Hallquist, a former CEO of Vermont Electric Cooperative, moved from one gender to another in a very public way a few years ago. Now, Hallquist, a Democrat, hopes voters are ready to put her transition aside.

“I don’t want people to vote for me because I’m transgender, or write me off because I’m transgender,” she said.

However, Hallquist is one of two dozen candidates endorsed by the LGBTQ Victory Fund, in large part, because they are not straight.

Katie Hill, a Democrat running for California's 25th Congressional District, speaks in Newhall, Calif., on May 26, 2018.

Surely these are the end times....

The Vermont reference I can believe. They’ll vote for any misfit they can.

I’m betting not a single “R” behind those names.

The Latina lesbian running for governor of the Great State of Texas has as much chance of beating our exceptional Gov. Abbott as pigs have of flying to the moon.

Our happiest years in America were the years when these freaks were in the closet.

Wow, what a freak show in Vermont

Democrat Candidates:

James Ehlers, environmental activist and Executive Director of Lake Champlain International

Christine Hallquist, CEO of Vermont Electric Cooperative

Brenda Siegel, Founder/Executive Director of the Southern Vermont Dance Festival & Democratic State Committee member

Ethan Sonneborn, middle school student

So, you have an envirowhacko, a tranny who runs a communist electric company, a dancer and a middle school kid.

I can’t even begin to decide who is the best candidate. All are destined to failure.

Hill is a newcomer to politics. But she won’t be a pushover. Her mettle has already been tested. The day before the June 5 primary, Hill, her husband and several rescue animals had to run from their home because of the Stone Fire that was burning in the Agua Dulce area.

Openly bisexual and married. Her husband is either a saint or insane. I would say only in California but Vermont is giving Cali a run for the money.

Depending on the position: I don’t mind voting for an openly gay person who chooses to run on a conservative, economically sound platform rather than their personal life.

I would give the middle school student a chance. He is probably the least crazy of the bunch.

What happens when these transgenders develop male pattern baldness? Curious.
