He is a champion in the fight for family based agriculture, Medicare for All and the needs of working people—and has a strong track record in bringing diverse groups of people together.

These are the values he will bring to the Lieutenant Governor’s office.”

“I endorse David Zuckerman for Lt. Governor. I have seen David’s work as Lt. Governor firsthand. He was fair and ethical as the moderator of the Senate.

“Vermonters know David for his long service in public office but also for long service as a farmer. The combination of policy chops and real world experience makes him a uniquely good choice for providing the kind of leadership we badly need as we confront a world badly stressed by climate change. He's the real deal.”

“We need a strong progressive in this office!”

"I once said 'We have to say what we believe, whether it’s popular or not.' That has been David's approach to leadership throughout his 22 years in elected office.

I hope he will have your support to become Vermont’s next Lt Governor."

David understands the issues of working Vermonters, and as an organic farmer I know he is committed to taking bold and necessary steps toward decarbonizing our economy and acting in an urgent way on climate change.

If you find his goals resonate with your values, give him your support.”

"I trust David because he's always been there doing the hard work and delivering on policy for Vermonters. In his first term as Lieutenant Governor, David worked closely with us cannabis legalization advocates to secure the necessary 'Aye' votes on the homegrow bill, and it was his steadfast leadership on cannabis reform that made it politically impossible for Governor Scott to keep prohibition in place. We need David's leadership back in the State House."

“I fully support David because he never hesitates to fight incredibly hard to protect our fragile planet, our wildlife, our bees and birds, our farms and forests, and numerous humans who rarely have had the support they need to endure or even to move forward in life.

“As an aspiring legislator, grassroots organizer, and activist, I am excited to get David Zuckerman back into the Lieutenant Governor's office. He brings an organizer's mindset and skill to that office.
