BURLINGTON, VT: Senator David Zuckerman issued this statement following Shap Smith’s announcement that he is joining the Democratic primary race for Lt. Governor.
“I welcome Shap Smith to the race and I look forward to a robust debate as Vermonters get ready to choose our next Lieutenant Governor.”
“I have worked with Shap over the years and appreciate that he has come to support a range of issues that are important to Vermonters. I look forward to hearing an explanation for his hesitation on issues where grassroots Vermonters and many of us in the legislature had to push for his support: marijuana reform, universal health care, livable wages, GMO labeling, and paid sick days are some of the examples that come to mind.”
“I will also be watching to see Shap explain his lack of support for Bernie Sanders. Bernie’s movement to address the struggles and needs of working families is resonating nationwide. Vermonters are ready for bold leadership on the important issues of our time and I look forward to providing that leadership.”
