Rights & Democracy endorsements
Rights & Democracy is pleased to announce their full list of regular endorsements for the 2022 elections of 31 candidates, including statewide endorsements of Peter Welch for US Senate, Becca Balint for US Congress, David Zuckerman for Lieutenant Governor, and Rory Thibault for Attorney General.
These candidates were endorsed after a process that included an issue questionnaire, leader recommendations, and a vote of the full RAD Vermont membership that was then certified by the Rights & Democracy (RAD) Board of Directors. During this year’s member-led endorsement process RAD received more candidate questionnaires and had more members voting than ever before. This current slate of general endorsements also includes gubernatorial candidate Brenda Siegel, whose endorsement was announced in the first week of June.
“This is a year of incredible change to Vermont’s state legislature, statewide electeds, and federal delegation and we are excited to have such a dynamic slate of champion candidates across Vermont,” said Dan Fingas, RAD Vermont Movement Politics Director. “These candidates, led by US Congressional Candidate Becca Balint, are committed to making Vermont better with policies focused on racial justice, equity in education, and an intersectional approach to the climate crisis that includes a truly just transition for all Vermonters. RAD’s members are proud to be voting for these candidates on August 9th and November 8th.”
“Rights & Democracy fully embraces grassroots organizing and people-powered activism, and I am honored to once again receive the endorsement of RAD,” said David Zuckerman, candidate for Lt. Governor. “Real political change often happens from the bottom up, when citizens and advocates work together to fight for necessary political change. I look forward to working with them throughout my campaign and in the Lt. Governor’s office to implement real progress on social, economic, and environmental issues.”[1]

Duhalde connection
David Duhalde March 26 2019:
Had a nice meeting with David Zuckerman! A member of Vermont’s Progressive Party, he is the highest ranking elected “third party” official in the country. A top candidate of Our Revolution last fall, LG Zuckerman, an organic farmer who was inspired by Bernie Sanders in 1992 to get in politics, is a great example of the grassroots movement we’re building. — with David Zuckerman.

Supported Progressive Health Care Reform
In late 2009, David Zuckerman was one of more than 1,000 state legislators to sign a letter entitled "State Legislators for Progressive Health Care Reform". The letter was a project of the Progressive States Network and was developed in consultation with national health care reform advocates, including the AFL-CIO, AFSCME, Community Catalyst, Families USA, Herndon Alliance, National Women's Law Center, Northeast Action, SEIU, and Universal Health Care Action Network. The letter reads in part,[3]
- "Failure to pass national comprehensive health reform now will further jeopardize state and local budgets, undermining public services like education, public safety, and transportation infrastructure... We, the undersigned, call on President Obama and the Congress to enact bold and comprehensive health care reform this year – based on these principles and a strong federal-state collaboration – and pledge our support as state legislators and allies in pursuit of guaranteed, high quality, affordable health care for all."
