Vermont Gov. Phil Scott Wins Sixth Term
Scott won a sixth term after $950,000 in outside spending from the Republican Governors Association helped boost his reelection bid.
- On Tuesday, Vermont Governor Phil Scott won a record sixth term, defeating Democratic-Progressive challenger Amanda Janoo in a race that proved more competitive than expected.
- Janoo ran a strong grassroots campaign, but Scott maintained his coalition of ticket-splitting Democrats, independents, and Republicans by campaigning against the Democratic-controlled legislature and distancing himself from President Donald Trump.
- Scott benefited from $950,000 in Republican Governors Association spending last week, while Janoo raised more than $1,000,000 from around 8,600 individual donors during her first-ever political campaign.
- Janoo conceded shortly before 11 p.m., as Scott became the only Republican to win a statewide race on Tuesday while Democrats made significant gains in the Statehouse.
- Scott promises to provide a check on the Democratic-controlled legislature while addressing affordability concerns through incremental changes to housing and health care policy next year.
