WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican Governors Association Communications Director Jon Thompson released the following statement today regarding Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin’s announcement that he will not seek reelection:
“By throwing in the towel after an embarrassing term as DGA Chairman and deciding not to seek re-election, Governor Peter Shumlin is finally admitting he has failed to be an effective leader for Vermont. His decision adds Vermont to a growing list of open seats the DGA will be forced to spend limited resources on to defend in 2016, and presents a strong opportunity for the RGA to go on offense. Vermont is ready for and deserves new leadership – a Republican governor who will be able to jumpstart the state’s economy and remind Vermonters what it’s like to live in a well-run state.”
