WESTMINSTER WEST-One of the most important duties of a lieutenant governor is to break a tie vote on Senate legislation or judicial appointments to our courts. The vote of the lieutenant governor in such situations can have a profound impact on our state, which is why it's important we back the more competent and experienced candidate.
Molly's political positions and philosophy are far different from her opponent's in this election. She strongly supports equal rights. She has advocated for working Vermonters, for women, and for relocated Afghan refugees, who supported this country during the Afghanistan War.
Molly is committed to achieving basic, affordable medical care and affordable housing for all Vermonters, and addressing homelessness and food insecurity for Vermont's children.
This is an important election for our country and for Vermont. We must make our voices heard.
