Andrew Champagne discusses the Town Meeting Day 2023 results, and what they mean for Burlington's Democrats.

From Burlington Progressives TV:

In 2020 and 2021, Burlington residents reacted to incidents of excessive force by BPD officers by calling for real community oversight of the police department. After the Mayor vetoed a charter change ballot item to place a community oversight board before the voters, over 2100 voters petitioned to place an item on this year's Town Meeting ballot. We will discuss this proposal and the reasons for it with a member of the community group, Tyler Pastorok.

From Burlington Democrats:

We hope you will save the date and join us for our Town Meeting Day 2023 Nominating Caucus on Thursday, December 15 at 6 p.m. We expect a large turnout and will be holding the event virtually.

From the Office of Peter Welch:

U.S. Rep. Peter Welch is joined by State Sen. Becca Balint, Brenda Siegel, Former Lt. Gov. David Zuckerman, State Rep. Sarah Copeland Hanzas, Mike Pieciak, and Charity Clark for the “Railroad to Victory: A Welch Wagon Whistle Stop Train Tour.” The Democratic statewide candidates will make stops in Burlington, Middlebury, and Rutland – each stop will include get-out-the-vote rallies to build grassroots enthusiasm ahead of the critical November 8 election. The train tour and rallies will be the final joint events by Vermont Democrats, showcasing a unified front fighting for Vermont’s working families.

Rep. Welch began his 2006 campaign for U.S. Congress with a train tour through Vermont, and the Railroad to Victory will be the capstone of his campaign for Senate. The Congressman will be joined by his family on the train as well.
