2020s gubernatorial press release: on Principles & Values


Tim Griffin: Supports Supreme Court nominations in election year

President Donald Trump has the constitutional authority to nominate a justice for the Supreme Court, and the Senate has the same authority to advise and consent. Those powers don't change simply because it's an election year. It's that simple. The rest is politics. President Trump is right to fill the vacant seat with a qualified nominee.

Phil Scott: Strength of our nation is diversity of people and opinion

We must lead by example: Show our youth how to engage in important, complex debates with both conviction and civility; prove that the strength of our nation is in its diversity of people and opinion; that America is a global beacon of personal and economic freedom and opportunity; and that listening to, and learning from, each other is how we continue to build on our foundation as a nation.
