    Candidate briefing

    Molly Gray is the 2026 Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor of Vermont. An attorney, she was an assistant attorney general from 2018 to 2021 and served as lieutenant governor from 2021 to 2023.

    She won the August 11 primary with 57.2%, ahead of Ryan McLaren and Esther Charlestin. She faces Republican Lt. Gov. John Rodgers on November 3, and a late-September poll showed her leading.

    Our Revolution has endorsed her. Why Political Revolution supports her: she is running to win back the state’s second-highest office for Vermont’s progressive tradition.
