The 2022 Vermont primary is Tuesday, August 9, and in case you could use a hand figuring things out…

VTDigger has what is probably the most complete overall guide to candidates up and down the ballot—especially down, since state legislative races outside the more highly populated districts haven’t gotten much coverage. It launched earlier this year and at the time had quite a few gaps, but it’s filled in a lot as the election approaches. At the link, if you scroll down you’ll find candidates for federal, state and county office listed alphabetically by first name, but there’s a search box and you can sort by district and office.

The Valley News has ramped up coverage of local races over the past couple of weeks, with articles on the Windsor County senate race, state house races in Windsor, Hartford, Norwich/Thetford/Sharon/Strafford, and more. You’ll find it all collected here.

Vermont Public’s guide links to the websites of Democratic and Republican candidates for US Senate, US House, governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and secretary of state. It also has links to the Republican and Democratic debates among the various candidates.

Most coverage by the statewide news organizations has focused on the high-profile contests.

Here are VTDigger’s election stories in one place, including coverage of the various statewide and federal contests, and profiles of Democratic and Republican candidates in some of those contests.

Here’s Vermont Public’s coverage, including its story on the Republican contest for lieutenant governor between moderate state Sen. Joe Benning and conservative former Rutland city council member Gregory Thayer.

Here are Seven Days’ political stories, including its two deep-dive pieces on the Democratic primary for US House and the hotly contested primaries in both parties for lieutenant governor, attorney general, and secretary of state.

While the big outlets have often given more coverage to Democratic candidates, Guy Page’s Vermont Daily Chronicle has been paying attention to several contests on the Republican side. It leans toward blow-by-blow coverage rather than big-picture stories.

Happy reading!
