Dear Reader,

VTDigger received donations from more than 650 members during our September member drive — more than double our original goal! We are extremely grateful to all the new and existing members who stepped up to support watchdog journalism.

Your contributions will be put right back into this community โ€” every dollar made during this drive will power our fearless reporting as we continue to cover issues of importance like the upcoming elections, school reopenings, economic recovery plans and Covid-19 developments.

I hope you will join us for our governor’s race forum on Tuesday, Sept. 29, at 5:30 p.m., as Republican Gov. Phil Scott and his challenger, Lt. Gov. David Zuckerman, D/P, meet face-to-face and respond directly to your reader questions. RSVP here to get a reminder and link to the livestream.

As a nonprofit, we simply canโ€™t do this journalism without strong support from our readers. Each donation, testimonial or kind note from you is a vote of confidence in our hard work and I canโ€™t thank you enough.

Onward,

Anne Galloway
