Career

Vermont elections
[ edit ]
During the 2002 Vermont gubernatorial election Ericson was one of four independent candidates and ran under the Make Marijuana Legal party line.[3] In the general election she placed fourth behind Jim Douglas , Doug Racine , and Cornelius Hogan.[4]

In 2020, she ran for the gubernatorial, lieutenant gubernatorial, attorney general, treasurer, secretary of state, and auditor nominations of the Vermont Progressive Party . The Vermont Progressive Party sought volunteers to run in the primaries and for party members to write-in David Zuckerman in the gubernatorial primary and Doug Hoffer in the auditor general primary to prevent Ericson from winning.[8] [9] She was able to appear on the ballot due to lower ballot access requirements instituted due to COVID-19.[10] She was defeated by Zuckerman, who won as a write-in candidate, in the gubernatorial primary.[11] However, she won the Progressive nominations for lieutenant governor, auditor, secretary of state, attorney general, and treasurer. Ericson called for a recount in the gubernatorial primary.[10]
