Question about Vermont

[karynnj]

4. The previous Democratic governor had some character issues

At that time Scott was the lt governor, an independent position that has little power. He was regularly on VT public radio. I think on a weekly basis. He was moderate and personable. He ran against a strong Democratic opponent, who was far less known to people. This even though she ran a department in the Schumlin administration. Once in, he got a lot of credit for not being a Trump Republicsn and doing a good job handling covid. He had regular press conferences where he correctly put the health people out front.

Vermont does a better job than most places in not having a toxic partisan culture.
