Patrick Morrisey: Recognized leader in the fight against federal overreach

He is nationally recognized as a leader in the fight against federal overreach. Morrisey has been the public face of some of the nation's most significant legal victories in recent years. He spearheaded America's largest win against the deep administrative state in decades (WV v. EPA), a pivotal case for our state because it helps protect energy jobs and limits the ability of federal agencies to issue regulations without clear statements from Congress.

Mike Braun: Farmers try to prosper while attacked by climate alarmists

Hoosier family farms feed the world with millions of acres of crops, livestock, and poultry raised and processed across our state. Farmers are doing all they can to prosper in the face of attacks from climate alarmists, the increasing cost of inputs, and corporate consolidation. Mike Braun will put family farms first so we can preserve this way of life for the next generation.

Peter Duval: Urgently need to return half of Vermont to wilderness

Our economy exists within--and depends upon--its ecosystem. Therefore, attention first goes to planetary boundaries and the urgent need to return half of Vermont to wilderness, consolidating infrastructure and services for a more efficient and effective economy. The 'Nordic Model' of capitalism and universal services, and steady-state economics would guide my planning and decision-making.
