It’s Friday, and that means another Vermonters First mailing has hit your doorstep.

Like clockwork, the conservative super PAC has been firing off direct mail pieces targeting legislative races each Friday for the past three weeks. For the first time, this week’s mailer names the Democratic and Progressive legislators it hopes voters will reject.

“Vermont Democrats VOTED TO RAISE Your Property Tax Rates Twice. AND THEY WILL RAISE YOUR TAXES AGAIN,” one side of the mailer screams. “Stop the Democratic Supermajority.”

In true fill-in-the-blank style, the version we saw (pictured below) tells us, “WE CAN’T AFFORD: Rep. Sarah Buxton.”

One reply on “In Latest Mailing, Vermonters First Goes After Democratic and Progressive Legislators”

  1. “The woman in the picture is wearing white boots outside,” Buxton says. “I don’t know of a single Vermont woman who even owns white boots — let alone wears them outside.”
    OMFG!!!! Really? Did Buxton just totally skip addressing the accusation to make note of the ads fashion sense? Holy Freaking Cow…….. She seems confused that this is a state government election, not for sorority president. I hope next week Vermonter’s First runs that quote with a picture of that girl from the Clueless movie.
