BURLINGTON: Last night, in a virtual victory party hosted by the Zuckerman for VT campaign with over 50 supporters, volunteers, and donors, Former Lt. Governor Doug Racine announced his endorsement of David Zuckerman for Governor of Vermont.

Governor Doug Racine. “David knows we cannot return to the old ‘normal’ that was failing our working families and our communities. He will ensure families have the financial stability of a decent job with livable wages and will work hard to raise the minimum wage and support policies that ensure the health and wellbeing of our children.”
The victory party also featured speeches from high-profile endorsers including: author, environmentalist, and founder of 350.org Bill McKibben, former Bernie 2020 Co-Chair, Senator Nina Turner, Vermont Senate Majority Leader Becca Balint, Representative Brian Cina and Executive Director of Rights & Democracy, James Haslam.

Governor in 2016.
The victory party wrapped up with a rallying cry from Lt. Governor David Zuckerman who expressed his sincere thanks to the countless individuals who had helped his campaign and charted his vision for the state and the path forward for the campaign to victory in November.
