H. Brooke Paige (born 1952 or 1953[2]) is a Republican perennial candidate from Vermont. Dubbed "the most prolific candidate in Vermont" by Vermont Public, Paige is known for running for multiple statewide offices at a time.[3][4] He has been known to wear a bow tie, and a top hat or boater, while campaigning.[5][6]

In 2018, Paige won the Republican nominations for six statewide offices: United States House of Representatives, United States Senate, treasurer, attorney general, secretary of state and state auditor.[4] He subsequently allowed the Vermont Republican Party to choose replacement candidates for most contests.[3] In the 2020 presidential election, Paige appeared on the ballot in Vermont under the "Grumpy Old Patriots" banner.[7]

Paige previously ran a newsstand business in Philadelphia, and has also worked as a food service manager and industrial chemical salesman.[8] He is a self-described historian and is a member of the Friends of the Vermont Statehouse preservation group.[9]

Paige has filed lawsuits against Barack Obama, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio on the grounds that they were not natural born citizens and thus ineligible to run for the presidency.[8][10]
