Race background

There was noDemocratic candidate in the 2014 Vermont Lieutenant Governor race. Running forVermont Lieutenant Governor were third-party candidatesDean Corren of theVermont Progressive Party andDemocratic Party andMarina Brown of theLiberty Union Party.

Campaign finance and spending

Dean Corren was initially thought to have a financial advantage because he qualified for public funding, according to Ballot Access News.[3] The requirements to receive public funding in Vermont were strict and Corren was the only candidate to qualify since 2004. However, Corren was limited by the $200,000 cap on public spending, and incumbentRepublicanPhil Scott outspent him, amassing $233,347.53 in expenditures by November 3, 2014.[4]

Corren's campaign had reported $38,496 in media purchases by mid-October, compared to no media purchases for Scott. The Vermont Progressive candidate used that money to purchase radio and TV spots along with billboards.[5]

Endorsements

Corren earned endorsements fromSen. Patrick Leahy (D),Sen. Bernie Sanders (I),Rep. Peter Welch (D) andGov. Peter Shumlin (D). Scott received endorsements from state legislators includingRichard Mazza (D) andRichard Sears (D).[6]
