Gov. Phil Scott has appointed Zachary Harvey, of Castleton, to fill the vacant Rutland-3 seat in the Vermont House of Representatives. He replaces Chris Brown, who resigned last month.
A graduate of Providence College, Harvey most recently served as senior manager for strategy and business operations at the Atlanta-based financial services firm ICE. Prior that that, he held various roles at the New York Stock Exchange and its parent, Intercontinental Exchange, a Fortune 500 technology and data services company. He began his career at Nasdaq, a global technology and exchange operator.
“I am appreciative of Zak’s willingness to serve his constituents in this role,” Scott said. “As we enter a new legislative session, I believe we have a real opportunity to address the affordability crisis we face, and I’m confident Zak’s perspective will make him an effective legislator.”
Harvey’s appointment is effective Wednesday, Jan. 8. He was selected from a list of candidates forwarded to the governor by the Castleton Republican Party.
