Lieutenant Governor-elect John Rodgers announced today the appointment of Elizabeth Brown of Waterbury as his chief of staff.
Rodgers, a Democrat-turned-Republican, defeated incumbent Democrat-Progressive David Zuckerman on November 5. Although Rodgers fell short of the 50% majority vote, Zuckerman has conceded and does not plan to seek election when the Legislature formally elects the next LG as required by the Vermont Constitution.
“Elizabeth has demonstrated a strong commitment of service to Vermont and Vermonters.” said Lieutenant Governor John Rodgers. “A gifted team leader and trusted administrator, she brings valuable experience from the private sector to her new role, and I’m grateful for her willingness to serve Vermonters alongside me.”
