Peter Shumlin for Governor Information

Peter Shumlin has made a career of advocating for policies that reflect the needs and values of Vermonters – ones that will benefit Vermont in the long term and give future generations the same opportunity that he had to make Vermont their home. He has worked to fight global climate change, bring broadband to every corner of the state and provide health care for every Vermonter. He worked with Governor Dean to balance the state budget. During the current economic crisis he stood up to the Douglas administration, working alongside Speaker Shap Smith to pass responsible legislation that trimmed programs where possible, while reinvesting in programs and services that Vermonters need now more than ever. And believing that all Vermonters deserve to be treated equally, he played a leading role in the passage of the first in the nation civil unions law and this year’s Marriage Equality Act.
