Indivisible Project Endorses Christine Hallquist for Vermont Governor

Washington, DC— Today, the Indivisible Project announced its endorsement of Christine Hallquist for Vermont governor.

“Christine Hallquist has proved that Vermonters are ready for a strong, progressive governor who can push the state forward. She is focused on ensuring that everyone in Vermont gets the help and resources that they need: from expanding access to high-speed internet to advancing universal health care. The grassroots movement’s dedicated support for Christine will make history in Vermont by electing the nation’s first openly transgender governor. We are so proud to be backing Christine and will work tirelessly to see her win in November,” said María Urbina, the National Political Director of the Indivisible Project.

“Indivisible members all over Vermont have been working hard to get Christine elected,” Urbina said. “Christine’s support for universal health care, workers’ rights, and policies to combat global warming have driven the grassroots to take this election into their own hands. We know they won’t stop their efforts until Christine wins, and neither will we.”

To earn Indivisible’s national endorsement, a candidate must clear a tough three-stage process that requires buy-in from local Indivisible group members at multiple points. A candidate cannot be endorsed without a strong platform and the enthusiastic support of informed, energized voters across their district. Indivisible believes Christine Hallquist has all those qualities, and more.
