In a major victory for Vermont, Senator Peter Welch’s Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act has passed the Senate.

This bill expands milk options with school lunches, strengthening child nutrition standards & providing meaningful support for dairy farmers when the industry faces real pressure.

President Trump has denied Vermont’s request for a major disaster declaration following the devastating July floods that destroyed roads, bridges, and vital infrastructure across the Northeast Kingdom and other regions.

U.S. Senators Bernie Sanders and Peter Welch cosponsored the Keep SNAP Funded Act of 2025, a bipartisan bill which would protect millions of Americans from losing access to programs that help people put food on the table.

Trump is making a deliberate, illegal, and inhumane choice not to fund food assistance for millions of Americans. Vermont AG Charity Clark is fighting back. No one should go hungry when Congress already set aside funds to keep SNAP running.

Leaders in the Vermont Legislature will fully fund SNAP (3SquaresVT) and LIHEAP to protect Vermonters from the fallout of the Republican-led government shutdown.

This weekend, we headed to Maine to knock doors, raise funds, and fight hard against Maine Question 1 — a ballot measure that would dismantle Maine’s absentee voting system.

A judge just ruled Trump’s demand for states’ SNAP data was illegal. But Governor Phil Scott already handed over the personal info of 140,000 Vermonters.

We’re glad to see that Governor Scott has now joined Senator Sanders, Senator Welch, and Congresswoman Balint in recognizing the importance of extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits for Vermonters. But let’s be clear: this was not his original stance.

Today, we take a moment to honor Indigenous people’s history, traditions, and culture. We reaffirm our commitment to strengthening relationships between Vermont and Tribal Nations.

Governor Scott sent a letter to congressional leaders calling for a deal to avoid a government shutdown. He advocated for a “clean” continuing resolution, or temporary funding bill, that would allow Trump to continue implementing his agenda & rip health care from thousands of Vermonters.

In response to the government shutdown caused by Republicans’ refusal to work with Democrats to lower health care costs, Vermont Democratic Party Executive Director May Hanlon released the following statement:

In Barre, we stood together to reject AFP’s dark money scheme to buy political outcomes that benefit billionaires at the expense of working people and cement Trump’s extremist agenda in our laws.

I'm horrified by the news coming out of Utah about the attack on Charlie Kirk.

Political violence has no place in our country. Not now, and not ever.

Praying for him and his family.

When Washington, D.C., changes course or tone, Vermonters feel it here at home.
