Vermont General Election 2024: Local Candidates

The primaries are over, and it's on to the general election.  Among the local races, there is only one competitive race, for State Representative.

High Bailiff has a single nominee, Johnny Trutor, whose campaign is a Facebook page with a jokey video.  

State Representative is a rematch of the Democratic party primary:

• Missa Aloisi, now running as a Progressive.  She is a small business owner with two children in Burlington School District.  Missa's priorities are dignity & safety, equity, and affordability.
• Abbey Duke, a small business owner with two children in Burlington School District.  😁 Abbey  was appointed to Emma Mulvaney-Stanak's seat after she was elected Mayor of Burlington in March.  Her priorities include housing, education funding reform, and climate action.  She is also a neighbor.

State Senator has three nominees, from which we vote for three:

• Phil Baruth, the current senate president pro tempore, advocate for gun control, paid sick leave, and education (personalized learning plans, which have seen spotty implementation).
• Martine Larocque Gulick, a current senator.  Her top priorities are reforming education funding, housing, and healthcare.
• Tanya Vyhovsky, a current senator who previously served as a state rep.  Her platform priorities are economic justice, social justice, environmental justice, and reproductive justice.

These are the three who won the Democratic primary.  Stewart Ledbetter, who also ran in the primary, chose not to run as an independent or for another party.
