Surprises and Fresh Faces in Down Ballot Races

Surprises and Fresh Faces in Down Ballot Races

Redistricting prompted a shakeup in the Chittenden County Senate Races this year. In the Chittenden North district, Democrat Irene Wrenner, a former Essex Town Selectboard member, will face off against Republican Leland Morgan, a former House member, for a Senate seat. However, in the Chittenden Southeast and Central districts, primary winners are likely to cruise through the general election to a seat in the Senate. In the Chittenden Southeast district, all three incumbents, Senators Ginny Lyons, Kesha Ram Hinsdale, and Thomas Chittenden, secured primary wins. In the new Chittenden Central district, incumbent Phil Baruth and current Rep. Tanya Vyhovsky easily secured two of three seats, but only two votes separated the next two vote-getters for the third and final seat, with Erhard Mahnke requesting a recount to challenge Martine Larocque Gulick.

In Washington county, incumbents Ann Cummings and Andrew Perchlik secured two of the three Democratic nominations, but it was Anne Watson who secured the most votes, a significant result for the current mayor of Montpelier. In Windham County, former Rep. Nader Hashim and Wendy Harrison won the Democratic nominations for Senate and will face off against Republicans Mark Coester (who is not being backed by the Republican party after he displayed alt-right and fascist imagery at a 4th of July parade) and Richard Kenyon, in the general election. Mark Coester has since announced his decision to run in this race as an Independent, and the party nominated third-place finisher Richard Morton to replace him on the ballot. In Windsor County, Rep. Rebecca White and incumbents Alison Clarkson and Richard McCormack won the Democratic nominations for Senate. Like Watson, White also secured the most votes in her primary race, another significant result for a first-time Senate candidate.

Notable House races included Chittenden-5, where Democrat Chea Waters Evans challenged incumbent Michael Yantachka over his vote on Prop 5, and won. Two incumbents, Republican Vicki Strong and Democrat Katherine Sims, will face off for the only seat in the new Orleans-4 district. In Washington-4, Kate McCann and Conor Casey, who ran as an informal ticket, secured the two Democratic nominations to represent Montpelier.

Political Intrigue in Federal Races Drives High Voter Turnout, Upsets

Political Intrigue in Federal Races Drives High Voter Turnout, Upsets

On the Republican ballot for the U.S. Senate seat, political newcomer Gerald Malloy beat former U.S. Attorney Christina Nolan, who had been favored to win and was backed by powerful state and national Republican party leaders. In the closely watched race for the lone Congressional seat, State Senator from Windham County and Senate President Pro Tem Becca Balint overcame her lack of statewide name recognition to beat Lt. Governor Molly Gray by a 23-point margin to secure the Democratic nomination. Vermont’s Senate delegation played a crucial role in this race, with Senator Bernie Sanders endorsing Balint, and Senator Patrick Leahy supporting Gray. In the Republican primary, self-proclaimed Independent Liam Madden defeated Ericka Bundy Redic, who has since announced her intention to run in the general election as a Libertarian.

David Zuckerman won the Democratic primary to be Lieutenant Governor, with three other competitors splitting the vote of the more moderate wing of the party. State Senator and moderate Republican Joe Benning beat the far-right candidate, Gregory Thayer, for the Republican nomination. Sarah Copeland Hanzas narrowly won the Democratic nomination for Secretary of State while Charity Clark won the Democratic nomination for Attorney General by a landslide.

Other Races turned out exactly as expected. Peter Welch handily won the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by retiring Senator Patrick Leahy. Unsurprisingly, Governor Phil Scott easily secured the Republican nomination for his fourth term. Running unopposed, Brenda Siegel secured the Democratic nomination for Governor, though notably only received 55% of the votes. Mike Pieciak and Doug Hoffer also ran unopposed and secured the Democratic nominations for Treasurer and Auditor, respectively. Perennial candidate H. Brooke Paige won the Republican nominations for Treasurer, Secretary of State, Auditor, and Attorney General, though he has announced his intention to decline the nominations for all but Secretary of State to focus on that race. The party has one week to name his replacement on the general election ballot.
