Reply #5: DeWalt may run [View All]

If he's not the Prog candidate someone else will be, but realistically, no opponent stands a chance. A prog candidate might get up to 30% but I don't think there's much of a chance they'd get more. And DeWalt isn't a great candidate. I'd much rather see this guy run. I'd vote for him against Welch:

David Zuckerman is a farmer and a Progressive member of the Vermont House of Representatives, representing Chittenden-3-4 district.

Zuckerman ran for the Vermont House in 1994 while enrolled at the University of Vermont. He lost by only 59 votes, but came back two years later to become the fourth Progressive Party member to serve in the State House. Currently, he serves as the Chair of the House Agriculture Committee and the Chittenden County Board of the Vermont Farm Bureau. He has also served on the American Farm Bureau Federation Young Farmers & Ranchers Committee and the Burlington Electric Commission.

In 2005, Zuckerman announced his intentions to run for the sole Vermont seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in the 2006 U.S. House election, then withdrew from the race in February 2006, having decided to continue serving as Agriculture Chair in the Vermont House of Representatives.

On April 25, 2006, Zuckerman introduced legislation asking Congress to impeach President George W. Bush. <1> The motion failed 87-60 in a roll call vote, April 25, 2007
