Republican U.S.
Senate candidate John MacGovern knows his effort is a long shot, but he’s
pushing forward. He hopes an unexpected confluence of events could send him to Washington.
The
U.S. Senate race between independent Senator Bernie Sanders and Republican
challenger John MacGovern is lopsided in terms of name-recognition and campaign
finances, but you wouldn’t know that from the fiery tone of their debate Friday.
The major party candidates for the U.S. Senate – Democratic incumbent Patrick Leahy and Republican challenger Len Britton – debate their positions on health care reform, the economy and Afghanistan.
Senators
Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders say they’ll support efforts to reform the
filibuster rules of the U.S. Senate, because they think Republicans
have grossly misused the procedure to block consideration of important
legislation in the past year.
The race between Republican U.S. Senate candidate
Len Britton and Democratic senator Patrick Leahy is playing out a little differently from elsewhere around the country, where Republican candidates have been challenging incumbent
Democrats on a variety of "hot button" issues.
Naval Physician Dan Freilich is challenging Senator Patrick Leahy in the Democratic primary. Freilich discusses his views on health care, national security and the other issues that define his campaign.
Republican
U.S. Senate candidate Len Britton says he hopes to garner the support of
Vermont’s Tea Party movement in his effort to unseat Senator
Patrick Leahy in November.
