Vermont Democrats

The Vermont Democratic Party — building a stronger, brighter future for all Vermonters, and certainly not paying for a blue check.

This Memorial Day, we remember and honor those who gave everything in service to our country.

This November, Vermonters vote on Proposal 4 — and on who represents them in Montpelier. The stakes couldn't be more clear.

[Vermont Democrats @vtdems]

Vermont Republican State Senator Steven Heffernan stood on the Vermont Senate floor last week and compared transgender people to animals. Repeatedly. Even after being corrected on the law.

[Vermont Democrats @vtdems]

And he did it as a “warning” about what Proposal 4, Vermont's equal protection amendment, would bring.

Governor Phil Scott endorsed Senator Heffernan in 2024. Campaigned with him. Donated to him. This is who Governor Scott chose to put in power.

[Vermont Democrats @vtdems]

With this new initiative, we’re taking a major step toward:
✔️ Reducing generational poverty
✔️ Strengthening rural communities
✔️ Giving young Vermonters a reason to stay & build their future here

Vermont Democrats are taking action to build an economy that works for everyone.

Every child in Vermont deserves a fair shot.

Treasurer Mike Pieciak is launching a Baby Bonds pilot program in the Northeast Kingdom — helping kids start building wealth from the day they’re born.

Attorney General Clark has taken the Trump administration to court 48 times since January 2025. As long as this lawless federal administration keeps coming for Vermonters' rights, Attorney General Clark and Secretary of State Copeland Hanzas will be there to fight back.

[Vermont Democrats @vtdems]

Donald Trump signed an executive order targeting mail-in voting — a direct attack on free and fair elections and the latest in a series of escalating efforts to restrict voting access ahead of the 2026 midterms. Vermont is fighting back.

[Vermont Democrats @vtdems]

The Constitution does not allow the President to unilaterally change election procedures. Vermont has safe and secure elections. The lawsuit alleges that the President’s executive order violates the separation of powers and unlawfully interferes with states’ mail voting programs.

We mourn this profound loss and extend our deepest condolences to Terje’s family, friends, and loved ones. His legacy will endure in the progress he helped achieve and in all those who carry his work forward.

[Vermont Democrats @vtdems]

We are heartbroken by the passing of former Vermont Democratic Party Chair Terje Anderson.

[Vermont Democrats @vtdems]

His impact reached far beyond our Party, from his leadership in HIV/AIDS advocacy to decades of service uplifting LGBTQ+ Vermonters and organizing for lasting change across the country.

[Vermont Democrats @vtdems]

We are calling on Governor Scott to provide a full public accounting of Vermont State Police's role. The Governor must examine whether Vermont's policies governing cooperation with federal immigration enforcement are adequate to protect the safety and rights of our communities.

[Vermont Democrats @vtdems]

Yesterday, federal immigration agents terrorized a Vermont family based on faulty surveillance. When the community showed up, federal agents responded with force — using flash bangs and chemical irritants to disperse protesters.

[Vermont Democrats @vtdems]

Federal agents misidentified a driver, triggered a chaotic multi-car crash during rush hour on a busy road, surrounded the home of a family with children, escalated tensions with over a hundred Vermonters, broke down the door — and apprehended the wrong people.
