To The Editor:

Mad River Valley folks

I am a former district vice president and member-at-large of the Vermont AFL-CIO (UAW Local 1981). As such, I know there is only one candidate for lieutenant governor who has the backs of working-class Vermonters: state Senator David Zuckerman. Dave has walked picket lines with me. He, like Bernie Sanders, has fought like hell (against the Democratic and Republican establishment) for livable wages, health care for all, and for the rights of union and nonunion workers. Dave is not a lawyer or the son of a banker. Dave is a farmer; salt of the earth. He is on our side. This primary day I implore all working Vermonters to vote for one of their own; I ask that you join me and my family in voting for a true ally of the 99 percent: David Zuckerman for lt. governor.
