Nine candidates — six Democrats and three Republicans — are vying for their parties’ nods in the upcoming Vermont primary election to seek three seats in the Vermont Senate in the general election on Nov. 3.
Three senators represent 24 Windsor County municipalities and the towns of Thetford in Orange County and Pittsfield in Rutland County in the state Senate, which is comprised of 30 members total, representing Vermont’s 16 senatorial districts. Absentee and early voting for the Senate nods is well underway, with in-person voting by Australian ballot slated for Tuesday, Aug. 11.
To help primary voters learn more about the candidates for the Vermont Senate from the Windsor County/Thetford/Pittsfield district, including their backgrounds, qualifications, and positions on the issues, the Vermont Standard distributed a seven-question survey to each contender last week. Profiles were derived from the candidates’ responses to the survey.
To read the profiles, please see our July 23 edition of the Vermont Standard.
