It became clear at about 8:30 PM the night of Tuesday, August 13 that Greg Thayer of Rutland had lost his bid for the Republican nomination for lieutenant-governor. John Rodgers of Glover won 56% – 35%.
About 10 hours earlier, as voters were casting their ballots, Thayer emailed his supporters (and VDC) a thank you note.
“I just want to take this opportunity to say a deep heartfelt THANK YOU to you all for receiving me over this election cycle,” Thayer said.
“Tammy and I are greatly humbled by your friendship and telling us your story. We love Vermont. To me the best part of our great State is You, the People,” Thayer said.
“Thank you to the volunteers of my campaign, you are Team Thayer. I appreciate your vote and I look forward to seeing you all soon. Thank you and God bless you and your family.”
