Vermont Democratic Party Officially Endorses Democratic Candidates

Sep 25 2018


Montpelier, VT — The State Committee of the Vermont Democratic Party has officially endorsed the following candidates for statewide office in Vermont:

United States Senator: Bernie Sanders
United States Representative: Peter Welch
Governor: Christine Hallquist
Lieutenant Governor: David Zuckerman
Treasurer: Beth Pearce
Secretary of State: Jim Condos
Auditor: Doug Hoffer
Attorney General: TJ Donovan


In a statement, Senator Sanders expressed his gratitude:

“I want to thank the Vermont Democratic Party for their endorsement and for the work that they have done to build a more inclusive party. I have been fortunate to travel across the state with many of the other candidates endorsed today and have been impressed by their commitment to building a Vermont that supports all working families and for providing bold solutions for the problems that they face.

“Now, as we head into November, Vermonters must be engaged in the political process and the fight for justice. Because when we stand together, our state can lead the fight to guarantee health care for all, paid sick and family leave, living wages, and a clean environment. When Vermonters make their voice heard and vote, there is no limit to what we can accomplish.”
