I'm For Doug

Carl Reidel, North Ferrisburgh

Doug is a proven leader; a person of integrity and commitment to Vermont.
He will be a Governor who understands the issues facing our State today, and with a vision for the future. Unlike the current administration, he will present Vermont as the extraordinary place that it is. Doug is the only Democrat who has defeated Mr. Dubie in a statewide election, and he’ll do it again with vigor and grace. As a native Vermonter, he’ll serve us all, regardless of party or economic status.
