Vermont Business Magazine Christine Hallquist is honored to receive the endorsement of Senator Bernie Sanders in her bid to be the next Governor of Vermont. Bernie has been a tireless advocate for all Vermonters. The Senator’s 2016 presidential campaign brought his principles to the national stage, where he sparked a new wave of democratic engagement.
“I am proud to endorse Christine Hallquist for governor of Vermont. Christine has a vision of an America that works for all of us -- a vision that recognizes the need for livable wages, Medicare for All, and tuition free public college. Christine is committed to making Vermont a place where all can thrive, and I'm proud to support her campaign,” said Senator Sanders.

His message has been consistent and unwavering in the fight for economic and social justice. He has called on all of us to work for a more civilized society, and I could not be more proud to be a part of that citizen led revolution,” said Christine Hallquist.
The Senator and Christine worked together when Christine was CEO of Vermont Electric Coop on infrastructure projects in northern Vermont. Now, Senator Sanders and Christine Hallquist are both a part of the Vermont Democratic Party’s Coordinated Campaign, where they work together to increase statewide voter outreach and engagement. Christine and Bernie are excited to campaign as a team this fall with other candidates up and down the ticket. Their partnership is a testament to the shared belief in what is possible for the future of Vermont.
