Primary Win!

We did it! The results of the Democratic Primary are in and Phil Baruth, Martine Gulick, and I will go forward to the general election in November together. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to every person who came out to support me. This wasn’t my win, it was OUR win. With an opponent who was backed by the governor and many of Vermont’s wealthiest families and had nearly $40,000 more to spend than I did, many counted me out. But all those people forgot that you can’t put a price on grassroots volunteers and supporters who stood up and said that this senate district was not for sale. Over 90% of donations to my campaign were less than $100. They came from everyday working Vermonters who, just like me, can barely afford to stay in this state we love. We may not have the financial power to make huge campaign donations, but we have the grit and determination to get out and knock thousands of doors and listen to each other, and work together to make things better for ALL of us. I can’t thank you all enough for standing by me. My campaign manager and I have been overwhelmed with such heartfelt messages in the last week and it has carried us through. I am here because of all of you. Thank you.
