Vermont Business Magazine US Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) Thursday announced his support for the re-election of US Senator Patrick Leahy and US Representative Peter Welch. Sanders also endorsed Sue Minter for governor, TJ Donovan for attorney general, Beth Pearce for treasurer, Doug Hoffer for auditor of accounts and Jim Condos for secretary of state. Sanders previously endorsed David Zuckerman for lieutenant governor.
“Sue Minter understands that the key for Vermont's economic future is opening up higher education to all Vermonters, regardless of income,” Sanders said. “That’s why, if elected governor, she will work to make community colleges and Vermont Tech tuition free,” he added.
“T.J. Donovan understands that criminal justice is about more than just sending people to jail. As attorney general he will help create a Vermont criminal justice system that focuses on preventing crime through early intervention, job training and educational opportunities for at-risk Vermonters,” Sanders said.
Sanders said he looks forward to campaigning with the statewide candidates in the near future.
