Vermont-NEA Recommends Zuckerman for Lt. Governor
Vermont-NEA Recommends Zuckerman for Lt. Governor
Board of state’s largest union says the candidate will advance the needs of children, schools and working Vermonters
MONTPELIER – The board of directors of the state’s largest union today announced its recommendation of Sen. David Zuckerman for lieutenant governor, saying he will advocate for the state’s students, schools and working families.
“Throughout his long career in public service, Sen. Zuckerman has kept the needs of working Vermonters first,” said Martha Allen, a K-12 librarian from Canaan who serves as Vermont-NEA’s president. “We have always admired his principled approach. Whether it’s ensuring that all children get an outstanding public education or insisting that working men and women are treated fairly, David is consistent in his approach while never giving up the fight.”
Zuckerman, a Hinesburg organic farmer, was pleased to earn the board’s recommendation. “I have long respected and admired the work Vermont-NEA’s educators do every single day in our local classrooms,” Zuckerman said. “I am honored to have their backing, and will continue to fight for working people, for students, and for unions as lieutenant governor.”
The board of directors invited the two major party candidates to an interview, and also asked each candidate to fill out a questionnaire on issues important to Vermont’s students and educators. Both Zuckerman and his Republican counterpart, Randy Brock, participated in the recommendation process. Both were interviewed by the board last week.
“We appreciated Randy’s participation in our process, and thank him for taking the time to meet with us,” Allen said. “He, like David, has strong and consistent views on issues confronting students, schools and working people, and he was gracious enough to share those with us. In the end, David’s views are more in line with our own.”
Vermont-NEA is the state’s largest union, with members in virtually every town in Vermont. The union’s 12,000 members spend their days working with and for Vermont’s children, ensuring that they have the best schools to prepare them for happy, productive lives.
