White’s win in Democratic primary far from guaranteed

WILLIAMSVILLE — I just want to remind everyone that there is a big Democratic Party primary in Windham County on Aug. 26, when four candidates vie for two spots on the ballot in November for Windham County senator.

Jeanette White is the only incumbent and definitely deserves our vote, not only because of her excellent record and long list of accomplishments but also because she is the only candidate with the experience, knowledge, and established relationships needed to move forward on the important issues facing Vermont in the next two years.

I'm writing especially because it has come to my attention that many voters think Jeanette's incumbency guarantees her a spot on the ballot in November.

This is not the case. I can't stress enough the importance of voting for her in the primary on Tuesday, Aug. 26 (early voter ballots will be available on Saturday, July 12). Not voting for Jeanette in the primary is like voting against her.

So remember to vote in the primary, and please remind your friends how important this race is.
