State treasurer
Incumbent state treasurer Beth Pearce was eligible to seek a sixth term in office, but instead chose to retire due to a diagnosis of cancer. Pieciak swept the election, securing every county except for Essex. He performed well across the state, crossing the margin of 80% in 12 municipalities. Those included Burlington, the most populous city in the state, the neighboring city of Winooski and the capital city of Montpelier. Conversely, Paige recorded his best result in the northern part of the state, narrowly failing to reach 70% in the town of Victory.
