Amanda Janoo wins Democratic nomination for governor in Vermont
Gray won with 60.7% of the vote as Democrats focused on housing, health care and expanding the lieutenant governor’s role.
- On Tuesday, Amanda Janoo defeated Aly Richards to secure the Democratic nomination for Vermont governor, winning 49.2% of the vote compared to 46.5%.
- The campaign remained largely cordial until a super PAC aligned with Richards spent close to $200,000 on late-stage advertisements, prompting Janoo to criticize "the sad state of politics."
- Janoo, an economist from South Strafford, spearheaded the "Wellbeing Economy Alliance" promoting human growth over traditional metrics and proposed publicly funded primary care financed by taxes on the wealthy.
- Richards conceded Tuesday night, stating, "It's time for new leadership," and pledged to assist Janoo's campaign as she prepares to face incumbent Governor Phil Scott in November.
- Separately, Molly Gray prevailed in the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor, securing 60.7% of the vote; Gray joins the ticket alongside Janoo to challenge Republican incumbents in November.
