Lt. Governor Candidate Forum | Wednesday, September 21
St. Johnsbury Athenaeum, 1171 Main Street, St. Johnsbury
The two major party candidates participating in the Forum are Senator Joe Benning (Republican-Caledonia) and David Zuckerman (Progressive/Democrat). Ian Diamondstone (Green Mountain Party) has been invited. Tom McKone, former Executive Director of the Kellogg-Hubbard Library, will serve as moderator.
Senator Joe Benning is an attorney and 12-year veteran of the state Senate who has twice served as Minority Leader. David Zuckerman held the position of Lieutenant Governor for four years (2017-2021), having served in the state legislature for almost 20 years.
Lieutenant Governor is the second ranking officer of the executive branch with three primary responsibilities: presiding over the Senate casting tie-breaking votes when required, determining committee assignments for senators, and acting as governor when the governor is out of state or incapacitated, and acceding to the governorship in case of a vacancy.
The event will also be live-streamed on Kingdom Access Television via YouTube.
