Republican Gov. Phil Scott handily won re-election to a fourth term yesterday, grabbing more than 71% of the vote to defeat Democratic activist Brenda Siegel's 24%. But the governor was not celebrating with the state鈥檚 Republican party. -
Just after polls closed on Tuesday, Democrat Rep. Peter Welch was announced the winner in the race for the open U.S. Senate seat being vacated by longtime Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy. Welch, who captured 68% of the vote, beat out army veteran, Republican Gerald Malloy. His win caps off a career in the U.S. House that began when he was first elected in 2006. -
Republicans took a thumping in down-ballot races for the Vermont House of Representatives Tuesday as Democrats picked up a supermajorities in both chambers of the Legislature. -
David Zuckerman will be the second person in state history to serve non-consecutive terms as lieutenant governor. He defeated his Republican opponent, Joe Benning, by a margin of 54% to 43%. -
For the first time in the state鈥檚 231-year history, Vermont voters have elected a woman to represent them in the U.S. House of Representatives. Democrat Becca Balint served in Vermont鈥檚 Legislature as the state Senate president, and before that was a middle school teacher. When she's inaugurated in January, she鈥檒l also be Vermont鈥檚 first openly gay person to serve in Congress. Balint easily beat Republican nominee Liam Madden, a Marine veteran and a self-described independent looking to disrupt the two-party system. -
