I picked the craziest options.

[SilentLiberty]

I don't know anything about any of these people, like not even enough to know if they are joke candidates:/

[vcczar]

I don’t know who most of these people are. 

[ConservativeElector2]

Butch Otter seems to be a safe choice. He has at least served as Idaho's governor. No clue on the others though

[Rodja]

I can help you guys with Vermont part:
1.Peter Shumlin,former Governor,legalized euthanasia and was fairly progressive.He also did something against GMO food.

2.Scott Milne,Shumlin's Republican 2014 opponent.Ant-abortion,anti-marijuana conservative.

3.Dan Feliciano,he ran for something as Republican in 2016 dont remember a lot about him.

4.Emily Peyton,anti-vax Republican.

5.Peter Diamondstone,self proclaimed "revolutionary socialist" who wanted to secede Vermont from USA.He died a couple of years ago.

6.Bernie Peters,pro-Trump anti-taxes

7.Cris Ericson,pro-marijuana candidate who ran for every election for last 20 years.I met her in person for multiple ocasions.

a member of a dying political protest movement created because a Black man was elected U.S. President, 

The Tea Party was not created because of Barrack Obama. Such an assertion completely misunderstands the origins. The movement was a reaction to government bailouts started under Bush. Fiscal conservatism (managing deficits and avoiding big government policies/bailouts) was the driving force. It continued into the Obama years because he pursued those same policies.
