## Physical description

### Gender

Female

She also served as Governor of Vermont from 1989-2007. She is the **youngest Governor** in American history, sworn in aged 19, taking advantage of the fact that Vermont had no minimum age for the run of Governor. She was also the youngest candidate in a Vermont governor election to receive more than 1000 votes in the primary, although this record was beaten by a 13 year old in 2018.

She moved to Texas in 2008, and ran for the U.S. Senate in 2020, winning the nomination and later defeating the incumbent, John Cornyn.

## Early life, personal life & run for Governor of Vermont.

Skyler was born in Burlington, Vermont, on the 1st of January, 1970. She was highly popular within her local community due to her kindness, though when she first entered the 1986 gubernatorial election, people stated that a "16 year old communist" had no chance "now, or in the future." Regardless, she pushed on, and soon won the 1988 Liberal Democratic nomination, primarying the incumbent Governor, **Madeleine Kunin**. Skyler's campaign was run on radical ideals, some which many doubted could win an election. Regardless, she drew an endorsement from Vermont's senior U.S. Senator, Patrick Leahy, as well as mayor of Burlington, Bernie Sanders. She was elected as Governor in a highly unexpected landslide. She was sworn in on January 5th, 1989.

## Tenure as Governor

Skyler was a leading progressive voice in the U.S., gaining national attention when she called for universal healthcare, denouncing James Montagu as a President, calling him "evil". She won re-election by large margins every year. She became the first Communist ever elected Governor of a U.S. State. She chose not to run for re-election in 2006.

## Move to Texas and run for Senate

Skyler moved to Texas in 2008, hoping to seek election to the U.S. Senate, not wishing to challenge either Leahy or Sanders. She formed the Socialist Party, and won the party's nomination in 2020. She faced incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn. Cornyn accused her of being a Marxist infiltrator, while Skyler called Cornyn an obstructionist. She won the election with a 53-45 margin, and was sworn in on the 3rd of January, 2021.
