The race for VT Gov is wide open. Amanda Janoo is giving Vermonters something to vote for. At this moment when fear, insecurity, and authoritarianism are rising across this country, Vermont has the chance to prove that another way is possible.
A third statewide poll in as many weeks finds Amanda Janoo within three points in the race for governor.

Becca Balint is tough enough to fight hard and grounded enough to never forget who she’s fighting for. Vermonters sent her to DC to speak truth to power, with clarity and conviction, and she has not let us down. On November 3rd, we will re-elect Congresswoman Becca Balint.
Congratulations to @BeccaBalintVT, our Democratic nominee for Congress! Becca is ready to keep fighting for the future Vermonters deserve. See you at the polls on November 3. 🗳️

Devon is a born and raised Mainer who cut her teeth in Florida politics, a place that prepares you to handle unprecedented and chaotic shit. Maybe as a man you should sit this one out and not make judgements about where a woman is from based on what she looks like.
My first reaction to seeing this woman was “is she even from Maine? She looks like she’s from Florida…” Turns out I was right!

before you post a hot take about the maine senate primary, have you donated to fund their convention? the eventual nominee will be starting from square one with a very short time to launch a general election campaign. the party needs every bit of help to defeat susan collins.

If you haven’t heard of Devon Murphy-Anderson, you will. She’s the executive director of the Maine Democratic Party, and she’s quickly becoming one of the most influential Democratic operatives in the country. She makes it clear: 📌 The mission is bigger than any one candidate. 📌 The movement didn’t end with Graham Platner’s withdrawal. The focus is still defeating Susan Collins. 📌 Maine Democrats, not Washington insiders, will choose the next nominee through what they say will be an open, transparent, and representative process. 📌 They’re trying to build in under two weeks what normally takes six to eight months. The next few weeks won’t just shape Maine. They could shape control of the U.S. Senate. Watch this one.

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.

VT Republican State Senator Steven Heffernan used the floor of our legislature to compare transgender people to animals. Prop 4 is on the ballot this November. So is the question of who represents us in Montpelier. Watch this video. Share it. And remember it on Election Day.
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.

I've been wanting to launch a Substack for a while. A place to think out loud about this work, this state, and this moment. I wrote about the first congresswoman Vermont has ever sent to Washington. Becca Balint is the real deal. open.substack.com/pub/people…

On #InternationalWomensDay, I’m thinking of the women who inspire me — like Senator Elizabeth Warren. Watching her fight tirelessly and lead with courage gave me the confidence to forge my own path in politics. Grateful for all the women who lift each other up every day.

Vermont Democrats reiterate our commitment to justice, transparency, and the protection of civil liberties for all Americans. We stand in solidarity with Alex Pretti’s family, his colleagues at the VA, and the communities demanding justice.

27 years old and every day I still wake up in disbelief that I get to live such a wonderful life. Grateful for the people, the moments, and the opportunities that shape me. Here’s to another year of joy, growth, and courage.

Building a stronger future for Vermont starts with supporting the small businesses, the farmers, and the hard-working families who anchor our rural communities. By putting Vermont whole milk in school cafeterias, we’re investing in our kids’ health and our economy.
In a major victory for Vermont, Senator Peter Welch’s Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act has passed the Senate. This bill expands milk options with school lunches, strengthening child nutrition standards & providing support for dairy farmers.

This weekend, I headed to Maine to knock doors, raise funds, and fight hard against Maine Question 1 — a ballot measure that would dismantle Maine’s absentee voting system.

When democracy is under threat in one state, it’s under threat everywhere. Maine needs your help to protect the right of every eligible citizen to cast their ballot confidently and conveniently. Go to mainedems.org/protectabsente… to join the fight to save absentee voting in Maine!
