Today, we have more than double the cash on hand we had a year ago, four field offices open across the state, and hundreds of volunteers helping us reach voters in every corner of the state.

Over the past year, we’ve invested in organizing, voter outreach, and the infrastructure needed to compete statewide.

VT Dems @vtdemocrats.org · 19h
This momentum is the result of organizers, interns, volunteers, donors, and supporters across Vermont putting in the work every day to build a stronger Democratic Party.

The polls vary, but they agree on one thing: this race will be decided in the final weeks. You can help decide the future of our state. Don't sit this one out.

In this latest poll, Governor Phil Scott leads Democratic nominee @janooforvt.bsky.social by 10 points. But 20% of voters are still undecided, twice the size of the gap. Last week, a UNH poll showed Janoo ahead by 6 points.

A new Vermont Public poll shows the race for governor is still up for grabs, while Molly Gray has a clear lead over John Rodgers for lieutenant governor.

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the families who have carried that loss for 25 years. We honor the courage, service, and sacrifice shown that day.

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.

In a new op-ed for the Rutland Herald, VDP Chair Lachlan Francis argues it's time for a different approach — one that’s a clear choice: @janooforvt.bsky.social is running to make Vermont more affordable for working families.

VT Dems @vtdemocrats.org · 29/08/2026
Phil Scott promised affordability. After a decade in office, Vermonters are paying more for housing, healthcare, and everyday essentials.

Congratulations to our Democratic nominees! Together, we're ready to build a better future for our state. Onward to November 3.

If these polls tell you anything, it's that these races are competitive and that every vote matters. We're focused on doing the work necessary to earn Vermonters’ support and move Vermont forward.

VT Dems @vtdemocrats.org · 27/07/2026
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.

The numbers show Vermonters are ready for change, and we're ready to deliver it.

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.

Meanwhile, Trump ripped $60M in federal subsidies away from Vermont families. They're skipping doctor's visits. They're choosing between a premium and a grocery bill while hospitals absorb costs they can’t recover.

Governor Phil Scott vetoed it. Every Republican senator voted against it. And on the House floor, 43 Republicans voted against it too.

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.

VT Dems @vtdemocrats.org · 01/06/2026
This bill was about making sure Vermont sets guardrails before billion-dollar corporations arrive from out-of-state demanding exceptions, subsidies, and weaker oversight.

Instead, Scott rejected those safeguards, drawing praise from Americans for Prosperity — a massive corporate right-wing dark money machine. The Vermont legislature had approved H.727 with overwhelming bipartisan support.

VT Dems @vtdemocrats.org · 01/06/2026
H.727 was designed to ensure that industrial AI data centers cannot drive up costs for working families and local communities. The bill included protections against pollution, environmental damage, unchecked energy use that would increase bills for Vermonters, and other negative impacts.
100
VT Dems @vtdemocrats.org · 01/06/2026
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.

Attorney General Charity Clark has sued President Trump over his unconstitutional executive order attacking mail-in voting — an order that threatens states with criminal prosecution and loss of federal funding if they don't hand control of their elections over to Washington.

VT Dems @vtdemocrats.org · 06/04/2026
Attorney General Charity Clark and Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas are standing shoulder to shoulder to defend Vermonters' right to vote.

VT Dems @vtdemocrats.org · 06/04/2026
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.

Federal agents misidentified a driver, triggered a chaotic multi-car crash during rush hour on a busy road, surrounded the home of a family with children, escalated tensions with over a hundred Vermonters, broke down the door — and apprehended the wrong people.

ICE agents attempted to apprehend a man driving on Dorset Street in South Burlington. We now know that the man ICE was looking for was never on Dorset Street. He was not in the car, and he was not in the house ICE then targeted.

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.

Thanks to Senator Welch’s leadership, Vermonters in the Northeast Kingdom will have better access to the health care services they need.
