Statehouse know-how or outsider’s perspective? The 2 Democrats who want to be Vermont’s next governor
Aly Richards and Amanda Janoo, two first-time Democratic candidates for Vermont governor, have raised significant campaign funds despite lacking political experience. They argue declining support for incumbents and Governor Phil Scott's low approval rating present an opportunity to challenge him, though polls show most Democratic primary voters remain undecided and Scott would likely win a general election.
