CANDIDATE INFORMATION TOOLKIT
We recognize that in the 21st century, there are endless opportunities for Vermonters to engage with their elected officials — from Facebook to Front Porch Forum, Vermonters are plugged-in and connecting like never before. With the 2020 election approaching, voters are likely doing research on the candidates up for election.
To help with that process – VPIRG has compiled a searchable database of every candidate appearing on the 2020 Vermont general election ballot – with links to candidates’ websites, social media accounts and financial disclosure document.
We hope you’ll use this page to learn more about the candidates running for office in your districts AND to use these platforms to actually communicate directly with the candidates and let them know what issues matter most to you.
The list is searchable and sortable by name, office sought and district.
