Rep. Peter Welch has won the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate in Vermont. The longtime congressman is vying to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy, one of the longest-serving senators in history. Welch will be the heavy favorite in November.
Welch easily defeated two little-known candidates to move on to the general election in November. During the years he has been in Congress, Welch has been one of Vermont’s top vote-getters and would be an odds-on favorite to win the general election.
Elected to his first two-year term as governor in 2016, Scott has focused his time in office on making Vermont more affordable and working to attract more people to the state to counter a demographic trend of an aging population with a shrinking workforce and fewer school-age children. The two leading GOP candidates for the U.S. House nomination are Ericka Redic, of Burlington, and Liam Madden, a Marine Corps veteran from Bellows Falls.
