“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.

When Vermonters make their voice heard and vote, there is no limit to what we can accomplish.”
