Deb Markowitz

Today, we announced our endorsement of our third gubernatorial candidate this cycle -- Vermont's current secretary of state, Deb Markowitz.

In 1998, Deb unseated a two-term incumbent to become the state's top election official -- making her the first woman elected secretary of state in Vermont. Our Political Opportunity Program supported Deb then, and we're excited to back her race for the governor's seat. Deb is an experienced leader with stellar campaign skills, and we're happy to be part of her team.

Here's what Ellen R. Malcolm had to say about today's endorsement:

"We are thrilled to endorse Deb Markowitz for Governor of Vermont. Deb has been an all-star Secretary of State working to make government more transparent, promoting citizenship and streamlining paperwork for new businesses. She has been a champion for small businesses, making it easier to create and sustain jobs. As Governor, she’ll bring her energy and passion to fight for all the things that make Vermont such a special place -- its environment, vibrant communities, and its hard working people. EMILY's List is proud to support Deb Markowitz in her bid to become Governor of Vermont."
