2022 VT Senate race: on Principles & Values


Gerald Malloy: Wants to get US back on track, make it strong again

Malloy, 60, who has only lived in Vermont for two years, is a retired U.S. Army veteran. He says he is a conservative Republican and a Trump supporter, though he refused to participate in political debates or press interviews so his policy positions are vague with the exception of a few tidbits he let out in press releases. He uses the standard conservative GOP rhetoric of setting the U.S. "back on track" and "making it strong again."

Peter Welch: January 6th was an attack on our democracy

I was there on January 6th when the Capitol was stormed by a violent mob fueled by the former president's lies. Too many Senate Republicans stood behind him instead of telling the truth: It was an attack on our democracy and an attempt to overturn a free and fair election. Senate Republicans continue to sow division for their own political gain instead of working together to get things done.
