Angular ng-options rendering twice for scope variable - angularjs

Question

I'm running into a really weird situation using ng-options inside a directive. Ideally, I'm trying to render a list of the 50 US States, but I'm running into the issue no matter what I fill the array with. Basically It's rendering each select option twice, as if it went through the loop twice, I'm using Angular 1.6.3 and webpack:
Directive:
var ctrl = function($scope){
// $scope.states_list = statesList
$scope.states_list = [
{ abbr : 'A', name : 'Test A' },
{ abbr : 'B', name : 'Test B' },
{ abbr : 'C', name : 'Test C' },
]
$scope.init = function(){
// $scope.states_list = statesList
}
}
var directive = function(){
return {
restrict : 'E',
templateUrl : '/templates/forms/address',
controller : ctrl,
// transclude: true,
// require: 'ngModel',
replace : true,
scope : {
form : '=',
address : '='
}
}
}
module.exports = function(app){
app.directive('addressForm', directive)
}
Template: (In Jade/Pug)
div(ng-init="init()")
.row: .form-group.col-md-12(validate-field="form.name", error-message="Please enter a name")
label.control-label Name
input.form-control(name='name', placeholder='Name', type='text', required, ng-model="address.name")
.row: .form-group.col-md-12(validate-field="form.address1", error-message="Please enter an address")
label.control-label Address
input.form-control(name='address1', placeholder='Address', type='text', required, ng-model="address.address1")
.row: .form-group.col-md-12
label.control-label Address2
input.form-control(name='address2', placeholder='Address2', type='text', ng-model="address.address2")
.row
.form-group.col-md-6(validate-field="form.city", error-message="Please enter a city")
label.control-label City
input.form-control(name='city', placeholder='City', type='text', required, ng-model="address.city")
.form-group.col-md-3(validate-field="form.state", error-message="Please select a state")
label.control-label State / Province
select.form-control(name="state", ng-model="address.state", ng-options="st.abbr as st.name for st in states_list")
option(value="") -- Select a State --
.form-group.col-md-3(validate-field="form.postal_code", error-message="Please enter a valid ZIP Code")
label.control-label Postal/ZIP Code
input.form-control(name='postal_code', placeholder='Postal/ZIP Code', type='text', required, ng-model="address.postal_code")
input(type="hidden", name="country", value="US", ng-model="address.country")
Results:

Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for the help.
