To help you get a sense of where the US Senate, US House, and state-level statewide candidates (governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer, auditor) stand, Vermont Public, Seven Days, and VTDigger have all put out election guides.

Here’s Vermont Public’s guide, with highlights from debates between (and interviews with) gubernatorial candidates Phil Scott (R) and Brenda Siegel (D), lieutenant governor candidates Joe Benning (R) and David Zuckerman (D), and brief profiles of the other statewide candidates.

Here’s VTDigger’s guide, with its ongoing coverage as well as a directory with profiles of candidates for federal, statewide, and legislative office. Most recently, here’s Lola Duffort’s profile of the Secretary of State race between Bradford’s Sarah Copeland Hanzas and Republican H. Brooke Paige.

And here’s Seven Days’ guide, which includes candidate Q&A’s with all the statewide candidates on the general election ballot.
