Progressive primary [ edit ] Incumbent Democratic/Progressive Auditor Doug Hoffer also ran in the Progressive primary. Perennial candidate Cris Ericson ran for the Progressive nomination for auditor, as well as several other statewide offices.
Hoffer won the Democratic and Republican nominations. Ericson, who was not a member of the Progressive Party, won the primary election. However, the Progressive state committee endorsed Hoffer for reelection. He had previously been nominated by both the Democratic and ProgressivepParties in elections from 2010 to 2018.
All 30 seats in the Vermont Senate and all 150 seats of the Vermont House of Representatives were up for election. The balance of political power remained the same in each chamber, with Democrats having large majorities in both; however, Republicans made very small gains in both chambers. While those gains were small, they allowed Republicans to break the Democrat/Progressive supermajority in the state house. This could potentially lead to any veto from Governor Phil Scott being upheld under these new circumstances.
