VTDigger has launched a 2016 Primary Election Guide.
Click here to find everything you need to know about each of the candidates in the race for governor and lieutenant governor.
The guide features biographical profiles of the five gubernatorial candidates (three Democrats, two Republicans) and the amounts they’ve raised to date. In addition, you’ll find news stories, press releases and campaign ads.
We know sometimes it’s hard to figure out where candidates stand on individual issues. That’s why we’ve also included a comparison chart so you can distinguish between the candidates on key issues.
The comparison chart features two sentence, summary responses to 10 questions the gubernatorial candidates answered in editorial board meetings with VTDigger reporters.
If you want to know more, you can click on the link to the longer, more nuanced answers given by Matt Dunne, Peter Galbraith and Sue Minter (the Democratic gubernatorial candidates) and by Bruce Lisman and Phil Scott (the Republican gubernatorial candidates).
We’ve asked each of the candidates for governor where they stand on gun control, strategies for economic growth, Act 46 (the school district merger law), the state budget, marijuana, Syrian refugee resettlement, paying for Lake Champlain cleanup, renewable energy siting, Vermont Health Connect and decommissioning Vermont Yankee.
For the lieutenant governor candidates in the Democratic Primary, we’ve cited three top priorities. Each of the priorities links to a brief bio of Kesha Ram, Shap Smith and David Zuckerman.
