Kesha Ram Hinsdale
Vt. State Senator
"I’m so proud to be endorsing Thomas Renner for Lt. Governor. This job is about showing up and listening with heart and intention, and that’s what Thomas does best. Last year, when the July flooding hit, Thomas joined me on day one to gather clean-up supplies and devise a system to get them to hard-hit communities across the state. No matter what, when there’s a Vermonter in need, Thomas shows up. With his historic candidacy, Thomas will be the first person of color and openly LGBTQ+ person in Vermont’s history to serve as Lieutenant Governor. As the first woman of color to serve in the Vermont State Senate, I know what that means. We need statewide leadership to reflect the diversity of perspectives and experiences our state has to offer. Thomas knows that the next generation is ready to show up and contribute and I’m so excited to support him."

Jane Knodell
Former Progressive Burlington City Councilor
"I served 20 years on Burlington’s city council, and I have taught economics at the University of Vermont for almost 40 years, including serving as the University's Provost and Senior Vice President. I know what good leadership looks like and I know we need leadership in Montpelier that bridges the political divide between the legislature and the Governor. Thomas deeply understands the issues that face regular Vermonters and understands that they need a pragmatic and steady approach to solve them. Thomas’ life experience is what we need in Montpelier and I’m proud to endorse him for Lieutenant Governor."
