Peter Delivers for Vermont

“Peter’s values are Vermont values. His effectiveness working with members of his party AND members of other parties is extraordinary. More than any other Vermonter Peter can truly fill the shoes of our esteemed Senator Patrick Leahy.”

“I am thrilled to endorse Peter Welch to be Vermont’s next Senator. We need Peter’s intelligence, fair mindedness, and his dedication to all Vermonters to represent us in Washington.”

“Peter Welch is a down to earth, well grounded, and thoughtful leader. His mind and heart are in the people of Vermont, and I trust he will carry our will to the Senate, just as he has to the House for almost 20 years.”

“There is no other candidate anywhere in the state of Vermont with the level of success, experience, and knowledge that he brings to the table. Over the decades, I have watched him navigate Washington, focused on meeting the needs of everyday people through no-nonsense legislative proposals and a demonstrated willingness to work across the aisle to ensure that we get what we need and are represented fairly.”

“As a former Vermont public school teacher and union leader, I know from experience that Congressman Welch has been a long standing strong advocate for the labor community and working people. His commitment to democratic values is exactly what we need in DC. I wholeheartedly support Peter Welch for the U.S. Senate.”

“Peter's commitment to listening and understanding multigenerational issues have made him a remarkable representative in Congress. I know that he will bring our Vermont values to the Senate and work tirelessly to address the everyday challenges Vermonters face.”

“I am supporting Peter for many reasons, particularly because of his dedication to both climate and reproductive justice as well as his commitment to protecting and preserving our democracy.”

“Ever since meeting Peter, I've known him as a careful listener who goes the extra mile, writing a personal card or calling to check in -- and encouraging and supporting my run for office. He's an inclusive, smart leader who is committed to fighting for our state. I’m proud to endorse Peter in his path to the United States Senate where he will represent all Vermonters.”

“I have known Peter for over 30 years, and have never met a politician with as much integrity. He is also very thoughtful about all of the issues of concern to Vermonters, and this has resulted in his being a fantastic Representative in Congress. Having him as one of our Senators, where he will be able to be even more influential will be of great value to the citizens of Vermont.”

"We have lived in Newport for 53 years and raised our family here. We have known Peter for many years. Peter cares just as much about Vermont small businesses, Vermont schools, and our downtowns, as he does about issues facing the entire country. We know Peter is always fighting for what is right and we are proud to endorse him."

“If every state in the union were fortunate enough to have a person like Peter Welch to send to Washington DC, think of what could be accomplished on behalf of the American people! Even in the rare moments when I don’t agree with Peter, I always trust he is doing what is best for Vermonters and for our country. No one works harder for us than Peter Welch, and I am proud to support him for the U.S. Senate. He is a leader for all Vermonters.”

“There are so many critical issues at stake in this election from the climate crisis to preserving our democracy to ensuring families have the support they need to succeed. Peter understands that these challenges must be tackled head on and he has demonstrated this over his years of service to Vermont. As a young Vermonter, I’m proud to be with Peter in this fight and support his bid for Senate.”

“I've always been most impressed by Peter’s ability to stay close to his constituents in Vermont, despite his status as a federal law maker. Whether it is attending NAACP Freedom Fund dinners or meeting folks at a local cafe, he finds a way to connect. Staying close to the people is the most important part of the job and he takes it seriously.”

"I used to listen to the radio and wonder who was this person speaking such truths to and about DC with insight and the audacity to suggest pragmatic solutions. Turns out it was my congressman, Peter Welch. As a husband, father, and business owner in the Upper Valley, I have seen firsthand Peter's commitment to Vermont's communities. He has served our state with integrity and humility, and I am proud to support him in his race for US Senator."
