2022 race briefing
2022 race. This briefing is from the November 8, 2022 election.
The incumbent senator is retiring (Patrick Leahy), and Rep Welch will be competing with two other Democrats in the Democratic primary on August 9th. Progressives should plan to support Rep Welch NOW to insure that he wins the primary election and builds his base going into the General Election on November 8th when he will face a Republican running for this office. As state representative, Rep Welch won by a large margin in Vermont. Hopefully, he can repeat this election result and put two Progressive senators in the US Senate from the state of Vermont.
