The issues are many, complex and will require a governor who understands the scope of the issues, has an established record for putting legislation and programs in place, is successful in building diverse coalitions that together create real solutions, is self assured and humble enough to not always be the center of attention, is results driven and is a committed champion for Vermont working tirelessly for all its citizens. Doug Racine is this person.
 
No other candidate has the legislative or business portfolio Doug has compiled. He is a family businessman and knows the trials and tribulations of running a business in Vermont. His legislative accomplishments are extensive. They include funding early childhood programs, such as the Parent Child Centers, long before it became politically vogue to support services for our youngest children. Recent accomplishments include co-chairing the Child Poverty Council resulting in an action plan for "Improving the Odds for Kids," co-sponsoring and passage of marriage equality legislation and, through his chairmanship of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee, the passage of legislation that leads to universal health care.

Doug is not a grandstander. He is a doggedly determined achiever who works respectfully and gets results. He is the candidate with vision and the leader Vermont needs as governor.
