In a speech peppered with race car driving analogies, Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, the sole Republican victor in Vermont’s statewide races, urged GOP party members to “put your partisan stripes aside and do what’s best for Vermonters.” He sounded the main theme of his campaign: a nonpartisan, team-driven approach to politics, and he commended his Democratic and Progressive opponent, Cassandra Gekas, for helping to make the lieutenant governor race an “issues-driven campaign without negativity.”
