Today, we celebrate the workers who keep Vermont moving and the generations who fought for the freedom to organize and collectively bargain. Those rights were never guaranteed—they were won. This November, Vermont voters can protect that right by voting YES on Prop 3.

Phil Scott promised affordability. After a decade in office, Vermonters are paying more for housing, healthcare, and everyday essentials.

The poll numbers are encouraging — but polls don't win elections, people do. We're building the infrastructure right now — staff, data, voter contact — so that the enthusiasm we're seeing becomes votes in November. We're organizing to win up and down the ballot.

250 years ago, our country’s founders wrote that all people are created equal. We're still fighting to make that true. We honor the founding by working to uphold the ideas America represents. Let's celebrate what America is — and fight for what it can be.

Help us elect Democrats who will keep fighting for every Vermonter. Today, the Supreme Court said Donald Trump can strip legal status from hundreds of thousands of people. This is not the country we were promised, and not one we will accept. Vermont has to hold the line.

S.190 would have saved you money. Governor Scott vetoed it. Democrats spent two years — weekly working groups, public testimony, collaborative process — building a bill that would have lowered health insurance premiums for families and small businesses and cut costs driving your property taxes up.

Governor Scott vetoed what would have been one of the strongest AI data center safeguard laws in the country. He sided with Big Tech and Koch-backed special interests over Vermonters.

Vermont Republican State Senator Steven Heffernan stood on the Vermont Senate floor last week and compared transgender people to animals. Repeatedly. Even after being corrected on the law.

Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting mail-in voting — a direct attack on free and fair elections and the latest in a series of escalating efforts to restrict voting access ahead of the 2026 midterms. Vermont is fighting back.

Yesterday, federal immigration agents terrorized a Vermont family based on faulty surveillance. When the community showed up, federal agents responded with force — using flash bangs and chemical irritants to disperse protesters.

The VDP strongly condemns Trump’s initiation of major combat operations against Iran without congressional authorization. It underscores a growing constitutional crisis around unlawful unilateral military escalation and raises urgent questions about oversight and accountability.

The murders of Alex Pretti & Renée Good by federal agents is a tragedy that should trouble every American, regardless of party or ideology. No one should fear that their government’s response to exercising their First, Second or Fourth Amendment rights will end in violence.

The detention of Steven Tendo by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is deeply troubling. Steven is a health care worker, a pastor, an asylum seeker, and a valued member of the community.

The Vermont Democratic Party today announced the results of its statewide food drive, which mobilized Democrats across Vermont to support local food shelves. Through food and monetary donations, Vermonters provided nearly 5,000 pounds of food and essentials.

Over the weekend, workers across Vermont reported to work in temperatures well below zero, with wind chills reaching -25 degrees Fahrenheit. For the many Vermonters who work in warehouse and manufacturing jobs, indoor conditions offered little relief from the cold.

The Vermont Democratic Party is outraged by the murder of Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse, U.S. citizen, and Veterans Affairs medical professional, who was shot and killed by federal agents in Minneapolis on January 24.

One year ago today, Donald Trump’s second term began. Instead of delivering on his promise to lower prices on “Day One,” hard-working Americans are paying more for groceries, more for health care, and more just to get by.

For nearly a decade, Governor Phil Scott has promised Vermonters that his leadership would make our state more affordable and safer. But the results speak for themselves. After 10 years of things moving in the wrong direction under Phil Scott, it’s clear: Vermont can’t afford more of the same.

Vermonters are speaking out against Donald Trump’s unconstitutional military escalation in Venezuela — launched without Congressional authorization and in violation of international law.

We are relieved that American service members were unharmed during this military operation in Venezuela. At the same time, we have grave concerns about Trump’s unilateral decision to escalate U.S. involvement in South America without Congressional authorization.

Vermonters are facing staggering health insurance increases. It didn’t have to be this way. Democrats presented a plan to prevent a health care crisis, extend ACA tax credits, and protect families from financial strain. Republicans rejected it.
