Gubernatorial Candidates Cross State On Last Day Of Campaign

Vermont's two top gubernatorial candidates were crisscrossing the state on the final day of the campaign and they have different messages about the economy.
Republican Phil Scott was up at 4:30 a.m. Monday to begin a 14-county sprint around Vermont on the eve of the election, while Democrat Sue Minter started in Montpelier but focused her get-out-the-vote effort in populous Chittenden County. She had been in southern Vermont during the weekend.

It’s considered a tossup race as the pair vie to replace Democratic Governor Peter Shumlin, who opted not to seek re-election this year.

Both of the candidates have been focusing on their economic message. Also running is Liberty Union candidate Bill “Spaceman” Lee.
