Thank you.

JOHN, The results are in – and Vermont voters have made their choice. Earlier tonight, I called Senator Balint to concede the race and congratulate her on her victory. Although tonight didn’t go the way we hoped, I want to extend my deepest appreciation and most heartfelt thanks to our entire …

Tomorrow will be a historic day.

JOHN, The big day is just hours away. Polls open across the state at 7 AM. This evening, I’m remembering why I entered this race. As our state came out of a once-in-a-century pandemic, I faced an important decision last fall – do I step up, or do I sit on the sidelines? I chose to step up, …

We’ve got this

JOHN, We're bumping Molly’s email from yesterday. Thanks to your generous support, we made a big dent in yesterday’s fundraising goal. We now have just $12,000 left to raise for this entire campaign. Will you chip in $15, $30 or whatever you can give today to help us get there? [[link remov…

There’s four days left. We need you.

JOHN, This week, you’ve heard from Senator Leahy, Marcelle Leahy, and former Governors Howard Dean and Madeleine Kunin about why they’re supporting my candidacy. I’m proud to have their support, along with the backing of hundreds more Vermonters – business owners, veterans, teachers and commun…

Molly’s WCAX closing argument

JOHN, Tonight, in the final debate of the election on WCAX, Molly made a strong closing argument to Vermont voters. In the final days of this historic election, the choice has never been more clear. Molly is a pragmatic Democrat who will work with anyone to do what’s right for Vermont. If y…

Join me in supporting Molly Gray for Congress

JOHN, Last month, I voted for Molly Gray to be Vermont’s first Congresswoman. I have known Molly since she was a student at the University of Vermont; I have followed her career of service since then. From her time working on Congressman Welch’s first campaign to her dedication to human rights…

We’re voting for Molly Gray

JOHN, The Democratic Primary is just 6 days away, and like many Vermonters – we voted early. Marcelle and I cast our vote for Molly Gray for Congress. As I have said before, I trust Vermonters to make their own decisions about who will represent them. We’re voting for Molly Gray because exp…

Why I’m Supporting Molly Gray

JOHN, In just one week, Vermonters will have a big decision in front of them. For the first time since 2006, we will choose who will fill an open congressional seat in Washington. It’s a big choice – and we only get one. One representative out of 435. Molly needs our help to get to Congress…

A broken Congress betrayed our veterans

JOHN, This week, Republicans in the US Senate let party politics and political stunts stand in the way of urgently needed support for our veterans exposed to burn pits. The PACT Act would provide health care and benefits to roughly 3.5 million veterans injured by exposure to toxic substances d…

Our rights are on the line; we have to get this right

JOHN, During the final days of June, Supreme Court rulings were rolled out one by one, each alarming in their own way. Each decision broke along partisan lines, with the six Republican-appointed justices voting in lockstep. If any doubt remained, these rulings confirmed that our nation’s highe…

Help send a fighter for working families to Congress

Dear JOHN, I am proud to have the endorsement of the Vermont State Employees’ Association. When state employee and teacher pensions were in jeopardy last year, I spoke out and stood up with our unions against the plan because I believe a pension is a promise. This is how I will lead in Cong…

NEW AD: This fight is personal

Financial relief for Vermont families

JOHN, Let’s face it: these days, it’s expensive to be a Vermonter. From the checkout counter to the pharmacy to the gas pump, working families across the state are feeling the pinch. The U.S. Consumer Price Index has risen 9.1 percent over the last twelve months. That, combined with Vermont’s …

Today's the last deadline before the primary
