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.

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.

Francis: A clear choice in November
Phil Scott rode into the governor’s office a decade ago, pledging to deliver results on affordability. After 10 years in the office — and following over a quarter-century of his

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.

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.

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.

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 delivered relief for people being priced out of coverage and property taxpayers. Every seat in the legislature is on the ballot in November. And the difference between a legislature that can deliver real savings — and override a governor who won't — is your vote.

VT Dems @vtdemocrats.org · 22/06/2026
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.

VT Dems @vtdemocrats.org · 22/06/2026
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.
000
VT Dems @vtdemocrats.org · 01/06/2026
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.
120
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.

This November, Vermonters vote on Proposal 4 — and on who represents them in Montpelier. The stakes couldn't be more clear.

VT Dems @vtdemocrats.org · 19/05/2026
And he did it as a “warning” about what Proposal 4, Vermont's equal protection amendment, would bring. Governor Phil Scott endorsed Senator Heffernan in 2024. Campaigned with him. Donated to him. This is who Governor Scott chose to put in power.

Senator Heffernan (R - Addison District) made comments during debate on H. 578 — a bill about animal cruelty — to suggest transgender identity was comparable to “identifying as an animal,” while conflating bestiality and Vermont’s protections for LGBTQ+ people.

VT Dems @vtdemocrats.org · 19/05/2026
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.

This is the 48th time Attorney General Clark has taken the Trump administration to court since January 2025. As long as this lawless federal administration keeps coming for Vermonters' rights, Attorney General Clark and Secretary of State Copeland Hanzas will be there to fight back.

The Constitution does not allow the President to unilaterally change election procedures. Vermont has safe, secure, and accessible elections. The lawsuit alleges that the President’s executive order violates the separation of powers and unlawfully interferes with states’ mail voting programs.

The order attempts to allow the Trump administration to establish a national list of voters and directs the Postal Service to transmit mail ballots only to those on the list.

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.

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.
