VT-Gov

Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas's decision not to run for re-election has attracted a crowd of Democrats looking to become the next governor of the Green Mountain State. It can be tough to set yourself apart in a large field -- but a recent poll shows that EMILY's List candidate Secretary of State Deb Markowitz is doing just that.

We couldn’t have put it better ourselves, Deb.

Vermont gubernatorial candidate Deb Markowitz has been featured in The Burlington Free Press for unique style and determination to get things done.

Deb Markowitz has some big plans for Vermont!

Markowitz, along with three of the other five Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls, shared her vision for Vermont this past Thursday at a public forum. She expressed a need for better budget management and major improvements in Vermont’s school system.

Just came across a great piece from WCAX in Burlington, Vermont, about EMILY's List's VT-Gov candidate Deb Markowitz.

Politicians certainly like to talk about what they're going to do about the economic crisis, but Deb Markowitz stands out for having a real, viable plan for what she'll do for Vermont as governor: expand the economy and create new jobs by focusing on her state's most promising industries. Deb's plan came from her Jobs Tour of Vermont, when she did something else pretty remarkable: truly listened to the concerns of business owners and what they need to get back on their feet.

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

Yesterday, we told you about the jobs and efficiency plan Deb Markowitz (VT-Gov) just launched. We just came across a great story highlighting key components of the new plan, called JumpStartVT.

In addition to establishing savings programs to aid new business owners with start-up costs, the plan would also cut down on bureaucratic red tape. Here's what Deb had to say:

I live in Virginia, and one of my great frustrations is our Republican Governor, Bob McDonnell. Now I see him raising big money for Vermont’s Republican candidate for Governor Brian Dubie – and it makes me more sure than ever that EMILY’s List-endorsed Deb Markowitz needs our support, in order to ensure that Bob McDonnell’s radical, throw-back views don’t have a willing audience in the Governor’s mansion in Montpelier.
