To the editor:
Hi, my name is Jay and I’m a Republican. On Tuesday, if you plan on voting in the Republican primary for Lt. Governor, it’s important that you vote for the only real Republican in the race.
Gregory Thayer has always been by our side; fighting the good fight and listening to the people.
I don’t think that you can spend a lifetime voting like a Democrat and suddenly declare you are a Republican without proof.
This Republican will be voting for Gregory Thayer for Lt. Governor. – Jay Shepard, Essex Jct.
To the Editor:
Are we in such a terrible position in the GOP that we would even consider voting for a democrat to represent us in the Lt. Governor’s race? It’s bad enough we have a governor we has more support by democrats than by republicans so we need another one? Who can understand what republican values stand for when there’s no example of it at all in a position of leadership?
As some of you might know I ran for governor against Phil Scott six years ago. My goals included supporting true republicans and using the position to educate Vermonters what conservatism is about and why conservative values would make this state stronger. Instead very few people even know what it means or why it’s the right way to govern. For example many on the left and center consider a candidate with strong republican values an extremist and radical. The majority see Donald Trump as a conservative. Yes he shares some conservative values but is not a conservative.
I proposed when I ran and still believe that the LG position should be eliminated because it doesn’t serve enough of a purpose to justify the cost when we are being so burdened by taxes. With that said why not work to elect someone with conservative values to use the position to help educate people what conservatism is all about? Then for me the position does have some value and it may help get true republicans elected.
We see what putting a moderate up against a democrat has accomplished repeatedly, the latest being Joe Benning. Why not try a different approach and give the voters a real choice and hope they see the advantage to trying a new approach? If we’re successful the GOP will benefit greatly.
That is why I’m endorsing Greg Thayer for LG. He has been a tireless promotor of conservative republican values.
My wife and I will be running for representatives in Springfield and I know we will benefit if we have a strong promotor of what being a republican is all about. – Keith Stern, North Springfield

If you want Conservative policies, you need a Conservative, the only one running with that is Gregory Thayer !!
Let’s help save the state.
I agree. Greg has been stirring conservative causes across the state while Rodgers has been enacting things conservatives oppose that have been adding tremendous tax loads.
Look forward to voting for both Phil Scott and John Rodgers. Bother great examples of “Vermont” Republicans.
Please read my response to “John” below. It answers your comment as well.
Do you really think electing a liar to the second highest position in the state of Vermont is helping anything for Vermonters.
Two years ago I was Gregory Thayer’s biggest
Supporter… A his request we formed a write-in committee to get him elected and what did he do he stabbed us in the back and he went on to endorse Joe Benning who helped right and put into our Constitution as 22..
He also endorsed Joe Benning who called Trump supporters white supremacists and racists.
He also endorsed Joe Benning who said Trump supporters were not Republicans and should not be called Republicans..
Yep the big conservative Gregory Thayer caved in and supported everything the conservatives did not want including endorsing Joe Benning.
So you can claim he’s a fiscal conservative He’s of this and of that and a man of God and whatever you want to claim but the truth is the truth
When my father raised his six kids he always told us that a man is only as good as his word
Little did I know how much that statement would mean going through my life.
Gregory Thayer It’s not a man of his word when he sold out the people that spent their money on them and work so hard for him and then stabbed us in the back.
I don’t know who you are Mr c Henry but I doubt you would hire a thief to work in your business if you had one..
Maybe you could explain why you think it is helpful to the state of Vermont to elect a liar to the second highest position in our state.
Greg can claim to be many things but the facts prove he is a liar and will do anything to cover up the slides.. he has several of the GOP groups blocking the truth from being exposed to the voters in the state of Vermont..
I don’t know about you but most people I talk to don’t think a liar like Gregory Thayer is fit to serve in public office..
I don’t know how you can call him a conservative when he endorsed Joe Benning who was anything but a conservative..
I’m amazed that the number of people that comment that really don’t know the candidates or what the candidates have done.
I have known John Rogers for years and he has fought for us on the State House steps regardless of whether to protect us from having our constitutional rightstone and being overtaxed..
There’s only one choice in this race and that is the guy that can defeat David Zuckerman
I’m voting for John Rodgers… He is the most qualified candidate for Lieutenant governor
Those of you that have an ounce of faith in the liar Gregory Thayer can go to this web page and check out some of the facts..
I have so many texts from Gregory that expose him as a liar he is that I did not want to bore people by posting them all on this web page
If you can read the lies from Gregory Thayer and still vote for him you don’t have to question why we are in trouble in the state of Vermont.

Only a chameleon can accomplish what Rogers wants you to believe.
I am a center/right independent. I am capable of critical reasoning and independent thought, unlike party faithful in both party. What we don’t need now is party line dogma. “Traditional Republican values” leave as much to be desired as the Far Left/Communist/Marxist values. Neither is grounded in reality. We need thoughtful, rational people in government, not ideologues. Vermont and our nation are in the mess we’re in because we have elected ideologues and ignorami not grounded in reality! Hey John, wake up and smell the coffee.
To the Editor,
I do not think Democrats will take kindly to one of their own abandoning ship. Mr Rodgers is vulnerable to lawfare because he is running a state-permitted but federally illegal weed farm. The Vermont Agency of Agriculture lists potential vulnerabilities:
“…We do not attempt to address every potential collateral consequence of violating federal law by growing or distributing cannabis, but highlight some of the risks you should evaluate before participating in Vermont’s cannabis market. If you grow cannabis, you may expect these potentially significant consequences:
Ineligibility for federal programs, technical assistance, and/or benefits;
Ineligibility for federal grants and/or state grant programs that utilize
any federal money (like the recent CRF COVID relief grants), including
programs the state provides in whole or in part;
Ineligibility for federally funded conservation easements;
Federal officials may be unwilling to enter or inspect your land to even
evaluate whether you may be eligible for federal programs or aid; and/or
Ineligibility for state services, programs, grants, or other funds because
the state receives related federal assistance…”
The list goes on, but it would be a simple matter for the Dem/Progs to tie him up in knots were he to be elected.
I am a conservative through and through but I’m also a realistic person. My question is, how many democrats will have to change their voting pattern to elect Greg Thayer to defeat D. Zuckerman? Is it realistic to believe this could happen in the bluest of blue states? To my personal disappointment I don’t think it’s possible. It defies logic.
So, we already have a fairly conservative democratic governor who says he’s a republican and is supported by a lot of democrats but not all republicans. Is it better to lose the race altogether is it better to elect another former conservative democratic senator turned republican as LT governor? I would prefer to vote for Greg Thayer but if he loses, we get Zuckerman again. Rogers brings votes with him as a former senator and Thayer has already lost to Zuckerman. As you can see, I’m wrestling with this vote. There’s also the possibility that democrats will grab republican ballots to vote for Rogers.
While conservatives want change, we can’t get it by losing elects continually. In my opinion Zuckerman is a dangerous continuation of the progressive nightmare. I’m not saying one way or the other but I hope you all think about what I have said here. With a Rogers or a Thayer win we will gain. With another loss nothing is gained.
I can promise you one thing. If Roger’s wins the primary I will write in Greg Thayer just like I did when he ran against Scott, and for the same reasons!!!

traditional republican values? like smaller, more efficient government? like being business friendly? like working to lower the cost of living? yes those values leave a lot to be desired for sure.
If you can’t win a few battles, you can’t win the war. Nothing is gained by losing. We might as well replay the last election. People are so ridged in their ways mothing changes. There are too many moonbat liberals in this state to elect a hard nose conservative so we gain nothing. The definition of crazy.
it is too bad the vermonters that took the covid kill shot and are now dead can not vote//// there is no hero in vermont//// keep voting for the same crooks/////
On the contrary, the Dem/Progs proudly locked up the dead vote, the illegal vote, and non-resident votes in 2020 and 2022, and likely many selections prior. We also have the open machines connected to the internet (Arizona,) the ballot harvesting (Connecticut,) the election board findings in Georgia, Zukerbucks (who is sitting it out this round because he got caught, not punished), etc., etc. (All documented and evidence provided if one cares to look.) In all cases, voter fraud in other States does cancel out my vote and many others. Election interference? A conspiracy theory beginning weighed in court rooms and with election boards? If I hear anyone say “your vote matters,” it clearly does not considering the evidence, the collusion, and conspiracies to commit fraud that no one wants to admit, let alone correct. Hence, Sleepy Joe and Jezebel running the show – apparently – no one knows for sure.
Well this headline aged like milk. Back to the sewers you go Greg
