Introduction: ADDISON COUNTY — All of Addison County’S Incumbent State Senators and Representatives Are Running for Re-Election Nov 2020 Voters Guide Introduction: ADDISON COUNTY — All of Addison County’s incumbent state senators and representatives are running for re-election Nov. 3, and many challengers have stepped up to make sure there will be competition for the two state Senate seats representing Addison County, Huntington and Buel’s Gore, as well as in all six of the county’s Vermont House districts. As part of our election coverage, the Addison Independent has published stories on most of the challengers and we give space in the regular paper for updates from incumbents during the Legislative session, as well as for regular Legislative stories. In addition, published a series of legislative candidate Q&As over the past month, and we gathered them together on our website for voters go look at again. We asked each candidate the same six questions and offered them space for additional comment. See the list of questions, and then head to addisonindependent.com to read answers from the candidates who are on your ballot. All Vermont residents who are registered to vote were sent a ballot by Oct. 1, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you have not received one in the mail contact your town clerk. Vermonters may mail in their ballots, return them in a secure ballot box outside town offices, return them in person to your town clerk during regular office hours, or vote on Election Day, Nov. 3, before 7 p.m. “Please make a voting plan,” Secretary of State Jim Condos says. “Whether you vote by mail or in person is up to you, but we encourage you to vote by mail and vote early — by Oct. 24 — to reduce contact at polling places and to ensure clerks and postal workers have ample time to deliver and process your ballot.” To check on the status of your ballot, use Vermont’s online ballot tracking service at mvp.vermont.gov or contact your town clerk.

From the procession of four former governors and numerous dignitaries who were escorted by members of the armed services in Vermont to the singing of “America the Beautiful” by Colchester Police Chief Jennifer Morrison, it was an opportunity for the overflow crowd of Vermonters crammed in the House Chamber to witness their state’s peaceful transfer of power. After Governor Philip Scott took the oath of office, he used his inauguration speech to focus on themes that he had emphasized throughout his campaign for office. He assured Vermonters that he heard their concerns about “struggles to make ends meet as costs and taxes rise and good paying jobs are fewer and fewer.” He committed his administration to strengthening the economy, making living and doing business in Vermont more affordable, and protecting the most vulnerable. He announced that he would sign an executive order that very day directing every state agency to focus on those issues. His purpose in so doing,
