Campaign website

Zuckerman’s campaign website stated the following:

“	Our Vermont Together, we call Vermont our home. Our campaign is dedicated to addressing the issues across our state that will improve the lives of all Vermonters. Together, we can build up rural communities and jobs by addressing the climate crisis. Together, we can create a economy where everyone makes a living wage and has access to affordable housing. Together, we can make sure all Vermonters and all those who want to be Vermonters are safe and welcome in our communities. Through the years we have listened to many Vermonters as they have shared their economic struggles, and we have all observed well-intentioned leaders trying to find solutions. But these last three years, we have not seen the vision or action that Vermonters need. Our campaign for governor is about using this opportunity to address these struggles and really do something about the economic challenges that keep getting talked about. Please join us! “I have been serving Vermonters and this state I love for more than two decades, and as Lt. Governor for the past three years. I have met thousands of wonderful people from all corners of the state with diverse backgrounds and opinions. The issues they raise, the challenges we face, and the exciting opportunities for our future are the reasons I’m running.” — David Zuckerman Jobs & The Economy “We must ensure those who want to live here can afford to.” — David Zuckerman Vermont is home to some amazing homegrown businesses; King Arthur Flour, Rock of Ages, HearthStone, Switchback, Chroma Technology and Orvis to name just a few. We must find ways to encourage and support the talented and creative entrepreneurs who call Vermont home. We also must help connect Vermonters who are ready and willing to work with jobs in their area and supply training programs to ensure we have a pool of workers that businesses require. And we must ensure that working families can afford to live here. First and foremost, we must identify the real burden of taxes and fees on Vermonters. We must be honest and smart in differentiating Vermonters who are struggling and cannot and should not pay more in taxes from those who have benefited from our collective infrastructure investments and are able to contribute more to our communities and the benefits of all. We must increase broadband access in rural Vermont by starting with community access hubs and expanding to individual residences. In 2019, the legislature allocated funds to establish a broadband innovation grant program. This program leverages public-private partnerships to expand existing network investments to create municipal infrastructure open access to state and federal grants. Expansion of this program may be one way to improve broadband access in rural communities. We have seen this before with rural electrification and phone services, which built the economy of the past. Now we must invest to build the rural economy of the future. We must raise the minimum wage and pass paid family leave. Imagine how much easier it would have been to proactively tackle the Covid-19 pandemic in Vermont had we had such a program in place. While the legislature has made significant strides this past session on the minimum wage, the cost of living continues to increase for Vermonters across the state and many are struggling with the ability to access affordable childcare. This is especially true for women, who disproportionately make the minimum wage. Ensuring that the minimum wage keeps pace with the cost of living and that all Vermont families can use paid family leave will help those working full time have the resources to meet their and their family's needs. We support a minimum wage of $15 an hour. We must ensure that all Vermonters have access to safe, healthy, affordable housing. Almost one quarter of our housing stock is more than 80 years old. While annual investments are made in weatherization and modernization, we simply are not keeping up. We must support the creation of new affordable housing at the local level as well as improvements to our existing homes. This investment will create good-paying jobs all around the state, improve energy efficiency, reduce housing expenses for hardworking Vermonters, and ensure a safe and healthy environment for younger and older Vermonters. The Environment “Taking care of our Vermont environment & fighting climate change are both important and necessary.” — David Zuckerman As a farmer, David lives and works on the land every day. Like many farmers across the state, David sees and experiences the real and unmistakable effects that climate change is having on our land, our farmers, and our Vermont way of life. As a father, David also wants his child and all children in Vermont to have a safe and healthy future in our state. Vermonters have long recognized our role in protecting our beautiful state. In 1970, under increasing development pressure, we passed Act 250 to ensure larger developments would complement Vermont’s unique landscape, economy and community needs. We also saw our first Green Up Day in 1970, now an annual tradition of coming together to clean up our roadways. In 1987, the first solid waste law (Act 78) was passed, and in 2012 it was expanded to include universal recycling. Taking care of our Vermont environment has always been a priority. We believe that it is important to do everything we can to listen to our youth and step up to stop climate change. Despite laudable goals, our carbon emission rates are the highest per capita in New England! We must address this issue for our children and grandchildren and because older and rural Vermonters deserve the economic opportunities that local solutions will bring. We can do this in a way that builds jobs in our rural areas and strengthens our economy and our resilience to future storms. We will work toward a future where Vermonters’ primary energy sources are renewable and sustainable — built and maintained by hardworking Vermonters and small businesses right here in the state. We will ensure that Vermont workers and unions are involved as we keep our promises to reduce emissions and reliance on fossil fuel sources. We will ensure the solutions that we put forward reduce working Vermonters’ energy bills by investing in opportunities like weatherization, which improves health, conserves energy, creates jobs, and helps struggling Vermonters and seniors pay their bills and put food on the table. We will support an invigorated agricultural economy that will create jobs in communities around our state. By working with farmers to build healthy soil for their farms, we will reduce further water quality degradation and create the best chance of mitigating flood impacts by holding phosphorous and other nutrients in the soil and sequestering carbon. By protecting our environment and rural landscape, we elevate our rural communities and ensure our traditions and way of life are protected for future generations. Rural Vermont “We must recognize the economic value of VT.” — David Zuckerman “We will invest in infrastructure to ensure those Vermonters who prefer a rural setting have employment opportunities” — David Zuckerman As a Vermonter, David is proud of our rural culture and traditions. Our state is better for the small towns that encourage kindness, compassion, and community. We should celebrate our rural landscape and the opportunities found there. Together we can make rural Vermont a place that young families will want to move to. To make this a reality for rural communities across Vermont, we will support infrastructure development so those living in small communities have employment opportunities nearby. To enact this, we need the ideas to be locally driven and state-supported. We will find ways to expand the working landscape economy and the opportunities available in this sector. The Working Lands Enterprise Initiative, signed into law in 2012, has recognized the importance of this economy and funded over 184 projects that have resulted in more than 500 sustainable jobs. This program serves as a strong model for the benefits of investment in our forest products industry, including logging, construction and wood heating. In addition, we will explore the potential for financial remuneration for forest landowners through management of forests for carbon sequestration. With respect to agriculture, Vermont is the most single-commodity-dependent state in the country. Dairy represents about 70% of our agriculture economy. We will explore innovative solutions to the economic stresses that many of these dairy farms are facing. In addition, while the transition to a diverse agricultural sector can be culturally challenging, it also offers great opportunity for resilience and as a way to keep our working lands productive to our rural communities. We will expand small-scale agricultural opportunities and help develop and work toward an agricultural economy that pays farmers and their employees a livable wage. We will do so while recognizing land stewardship by farmers and indigenous communities and look for ways to elevate women and minority groups who have historically not had the resources to own farms. We will invest in infrastructure to ensure those Vermonters who prefer a rural setting have employment opportunities nearby and transportation choices when they need to travel. We must improve broadband access to our smaller towns and communities. This will allow our creative citizens and entrepreneurs the opportunity to work where they live and attract more workers to rural areas. We must also continue to improve fuel efficiency for personal vehicles and the state fleet and encourage alternatives to single-use vehicles (like trains, buses, bikes, carpooling) so that rural Vermonters will be able to travel more freely across the state. Improved transportation options also mean easier access for tourists who are a significant revenue generator in our state. We rely on tourist visits to support our travel and recreation industry as well as local shops, diners and attractions. An increase in transportation and, therefore, tourism means an increase in employment opportunities for Vermonters. There is incredible opportunity in rural Vermont. We will lift up these areas, support their economy, their creativity and their communities. While traditional private-sector calculations have discounted these areas, as Governor, David will recognize the value that they bring to Vermont. Education “Education is fundamental and it’s a keystone of economic opportunity for all Vermonters and especially women.” — David Zuckerman Education is a fundamental keystone to economic opportunity for all Vermonters. Schools are the heart of our communities. To give our children their best futures, we must focus on education from pre-k through higher education. We need educational opportunities for all Vermonters seeking more education, including trade schools, internships and mentoring, that meet them where they are and help them realize their full potential as members of our communities. We must support and respect our teachers for the vital services they provide to our children and our state. We are continually asking them to do more: prepare for active shooters, deal with health emergencies, update their teaching to a trauma-informed curriculum and more. Teachers dedicate themselves to educating our next generation and are part of an education system that will draw young families to our state. We must expand our understanding of societal issues that inhibit learning and overextend teachers, such as poverty, substance abuse, migration and mental health challenges, and work to address them. By closely connecting the Department of Health and the Agency of Human Services with the Agency of Education and working with frontline state, local and designated agency employees, we can find ways to save money by reducing redundancy, provide a stronger continuum of care and improve outcomes for some of our most vulnerable Vermonters. Vermonters show their support for their local schools by passing the vast majority of school budgets each year. As our student population declines and other school costs increase, it may be time to rethink how we fund our schools and what we need to do to invest in schools of all sizes. Schools are a natural gathering point in many communities. By expanding the ways we use public school spaces, including expanding them into community centers, we can build connections between different community members, including folks of all ages, entrepreneurs, small businesses and others. This could also expand financial resource opportunities for our schools. We are facing a shortage of people prepared to work in the trades. We will support these solid occupations and celebrate both those who want to attend higher education and those who want to learn a trade in Vermont. In addition, we will encourage demographic groups who have historically been underrepresented in the trades, including women, to take advantage of these opportunities in Vermont. Trade schools and higher education should be affordable and accessible to those who want to take that path, which is why we support free in-state tuition for Vermonters. We will support universal afterschool and pre-K education. These programs keep our youth safe, and working families need reliable childcare options. We must work to destigmatize parental childcare and uplift the women and men who provide this vital service to our society. Childcare is a part of our children's growth and education. We need to increase access to high-quality, affordable, child care for those who must or choose to work. By supporting and expanding programs like T.E.A.C.H., we will not only improve education for Vermont’s children, we will raise wages for workers in a field dominated by women. Vermont For All Vermont should be a place where all feel welcome. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. We must work to remove societal biases and laws that disproportionately harm nonmajority communities in Vermont. We must lift up Vermont women, indigenous Vermonters, Vermonters of color, LGBTQIA Vermonters, rural Vermonters, Vermonters of all religions, Vermonters with disabilities, and Vermonters of all socioeconomic classes. We must stand up against hate speech and ensure equal employment opportunities and equity. Our administration will work to make sure that traditionally underrepresented and diverse voices are invited to participate and will be respected and heard. We all do better when we all do better. Women’s rights are human rights. Women should be paid equally and treated equally. While we can be proud that the gender pay gap in Vermont is the lowest of any of the United States, no gap is acceptable. Vermont women made 87 cents to every dollar that a Vermont man made in 2019, and the gap increases when race is taken into account. Policies like paid family leave and better pre-k childcare will address some of this gap, but we must also address underlying sexism and ensure pay equity. Raising the minimum wage also lifts women’s pay more than men since more women work in minimum wage jobs. A woman’s right to choose is imperative to our democracy and to the freedom of over half of our population. Vermont has made strides in protecting Vermonters from national politics that may reduce abortion rights across the country. However, we can never be complacent, and we must work to pass Proposition 5 to add reproductive autonomy to the Vermont Constitution to insulate Vermont from negative changes at the federal level. No one should be penalized or discriminated against for the color of their skin. Our criminal justice system unfairly and disproportionately lands more black and brown Vermonters in prison than others. Without publicly available data, we face significant challenges to addressing disparities and advancing meaningful reforms. That is why we need an extensive and systemic collection of racial data about everything from school suspensions to police use of force, along with traffic stops and all court processes, to address disparities and advance meaningful reforms. We must address implicit bias in all aspects of our communities, from education to employment, and the long-term impact that it has on all people of color. It is imperative that we work to right the legacy impacts of policy decisions that have disadvantaged people of color and have had pervasive and persistent ramifications. And it is equally important that with each new solution crafted to address today’s challenges, we do not repeat the mistakes of the past and instead ensure that all of our work is informed by an intention to root out structural and systemic oppression. All Vermonters live on Native land. We must acknowledge what colonization has done to Native communities all around the country and especially here in Vermont. When we implement policies at the state level, we must always determine how they will affect the most disadvantaged communities by listening to these communities rather than dictating what we may believe is best. We will bring indigenous and disadvantaged voices to the table on legislation when making decisions that affect all Vermonters. Love is love. In 1982, then-Mayor Bernie Sanders helped LGBTQIA Vermonters organize Burlington’s first-ever pride parade, in 2000 Vermont was the first state to create civil unions, and in 2009 David and the Vermont legislature codified the right of same-sex couples to marry in Vermont by overriding Governor Jim Douglas’ veto. We as Vermonters will continue to uplift the LGBTQIA community by ensuring that they receive the same rights as all other Vermonters. We will never and should never implement legislation that disadvantages one group over another because of their identity or who they love. Nothing for us, without us. Many people with disabilities face discrimination and barriers that restrict them from participating in society on an equal basis. We must prioritize legislation that incorporates equity. We must provide incentives and support to Vermont businesses to hire people with disabilities and ensure that schools are providing education that meets each child’s needs. We must expand public transportation options so those who are disabled do not become isolated. Vermonters with disabilities deserve the same quality of life that all Vermonters deserve. All Are Welcome. Vermont has welcomed immigrants since before we were a state. Immigrants have played central roles from building our railroads to quarrying and stone carving to working in the machine-tool industry. In 1989, Vermont joined a federal refugee resettlement program and since then more than 7,000 men, women, and children have resettled here and now call Vermont home. New Americans can help us address our shortage of workers, but they are also creative entrepreneurs who can start new businesses in our state. We will examine barriers for new Americans and work with them to ensure they have access to the tools and support they need to thrive in our communities, businesses and government. Discrimination comes in many forms. Many are listed on this page and many are not. Vermonters of all races and ethnicities, religions, nationalities, economic classes, genders, and abilities are welcome in Our Vermont. We cannot and will not stand for discrimination in any form. We will hold ourselves and our government accountable for policies that discriminate or hold bias – whether implicit or explicit. We will work to protect all Vermonters from discrimination, bias, and unfair policies. We will ensure all Vermonters feel welcome: those who are indigenous, those who were born here, and those who have chosen to be here and will all be part of our vibrant and inclusive future. Healthcare Our campaign is about bringing people together to address the healthcare challenges in our state. Whether we are faced with new healthcare threats like the coronavirus, or consistent issues like increasing costs and uninsured and underinsured Vermonters, we must come together and find solutions that are affordable and accessible. A universal healthcare system would help address many of these acute and chronic issues. But until we get there, we must keep working to address the many shortfalls of the current system. Coronavirus On March 12th, we were the first campaign in Vermont to announce (via Facebook) that all in-person group campaign events would be canceled to help mitigate the potential spread of the coronavirus. For information on COVID-19 in Vermont, please visit the Vermont Department of Health page dedicated to this worldwide pandemic. I believe it is critical that as a government we take steps to get in front of this challenge. Studies have shown that proactive action saves lives. Beyond our immediate response, it is more important than ever to acknowledge the invaluable contribution that our healthcare workers provide to our society. We must support them, their families, their unions, and their work in this critical time. We must come together to support each other, while taking care to confine our circles of contact to as few people as is practical. If and when a vaccine is available for the coronavirus, it should be free for all Vermonters, universally accessible, and mandatory if medical professionals recommend that it be made so. If quantities are limited, however, we should prioritize making it accessible for the highest-risk populations like those over 60 years old and those with underlying health conditions. In the meantime, we should all follow guidelines from the World Health Organization and other national and international organizations. Vaccines I believe in vaccines. I support vaccines. And I support the law - that I voted for - that makes vaccines mandatory in Vermont and removed the philosophical exemption to vaccines. As mentioned above, I also support listening to medical professionals about making a COVID-19 vaccine mandatory. Universal Healthcare For All Our campaign believes that healthcare is a human right. This means every Vermonter should have access to healthcare when they need it. Healthcare should not be tied to employment. No one should die or be forced into financial hardship or bankruptcy as a result of a health condition. “I have been an outspoken supporter of unencumbered healthcare since my first term in 1997 when I sponsored bills advocating for the rights of terminally ill patients and in support of a single-payer healthcare system.” — David Zuckerman We must address the persistent healthcare issues in Vermont. While a national single-payer healthcare system (Medicare For All) is the ideal way to cover all Americans, keep healthcare costs in check, and ensure access to preventative healthcare without premiums and copayments, there are also steps that we can take here in Vermont. State programs like Dr. Dynasaur should be supported and expanded when necessary. We must ensure Medicare and Medicaid remain fully funded. The Veterans Medical Center in White River Junction is a critical center for our Vermont Veterans. We will look to their leadership and success in covering a broad range of issues from mental health to substance abuse disorders to different cancers. We will work closely with our Federal Delegation to ensure continued funding for Federally Qualified Health Centers and look for opportunities to expand the services that are provided through them. We will do all in our power to protect funding for Planned Parenthood to ensure they can continue to provide general health services to the thousands of Vermont women and men who rely on them. Prescription drug prices must be kept in check. We must see S.296 passed into law to protect those with diabetes from having their drugs costs soar with price gouging. Pharmaceutical companies should not be able to price gouge on other lifesaving drugs for chronic conditions. We will work with progressive businesses that are funding free walk-in community health clinics and wellness programs for their employees in order to reduce costs and increase productivity. We can learn from them, and our government must recognize, as these businesses do, that good healthcare means good business. We need far greater transparency across many sectors of our healthcare system, from the cost of care and procedures being more accessible for patients to the compensation for top hospital executives. We need to bend the cost curve if we are going to get healthcare costs under control. Paid Family Leave We support a universal, statewide paid family leave program. This program will help mitigate future health crises by allowing Vermonters to take the time needed when they or family members are sick and will help prevent the spread of illnesses. A Paid Family Leave program will boost our economy by supporting our existing workforce and attracting more people to Vermont to live, work and raise their families. If we had this in Vermont before the Covid-19 outbreak, the economic hardship and impossible choices facing hardworking Vermonters could have been mitigated. Paid family leave would have slowed the spread of this life-threatening illness throughout our state. Substance Abuse Disorder The opioid epidemic in Vermont is harming our communities and our economy. We must treat all Vermonters with the dignity and respect they deserve. Harm-reduction services, from needle exchanges to access to overdose prevention medication, are crucial. We must make life-saving medication-assisted treatments such as methadone and buprenorphine free to any Vermonter who needs them. Medication-assisted treatment should not be criminalized. We must focus on addressing trauma, abuse, poverty, hopelessness, and a lack of alternatives for vulnerable Vermonters. These conditions can both cause and worsen substance use disorder. We also must hold the pharmaceutical companies accountable for their advertising and promotion of highly addictive and over-prescribed opioid drugs. Mental Health Our mental health challenges are staggering. And they seem to be compounding as time goes on. We must stop seeing “mental health” as a separate category from physical health. The mind is part of the body. Just as we view environmental conditions as having an impact on our physical health, we must look at some of the environmental conditions that are also impacting the mental health of many Vermonters. The stress of economic uncertainty is straining many families. Homelessness from economic strain is also compounding mental health issues. We must work to address these areas that are making the mental health crisis worse. We also must work to help people get back on their feet. We must give our state and designated agency employees the tools they need to more completely address the issues facing our community. Health and healthcare in Vermont are critical for our families, our communities, and our economy.	”
—David Zuckerman’s campaign website (2020)

2016

Zuckerman's campaign website included the following positions:

• Lower property taxes for households that earn less than $200,000 annually
• Supports gender and marriage equality
• Supports renewable energy
• Expanding collective bargaining rights
• Marijuana legalization and taxation
• Supports assisted death legislation

2012

Zuckerman's website highlighted the following campaign themes:

• Jobs

Excerpt: "As a small business owner, I am well aware of the challenges of meeting payroll. There are times when I do not write a paycheck to myself in order to make sure my employees get paid and the account balance remains in the black. I also recognize that the taxes I pay and the permits I need to obtain are part of working in a functioning regulated capitalist system."

• Taxation

Excerpt: "I believe firmly in a progressive income tax structure. We have moved away from income taxes and towards property taxes, fees, sales tax and other forms of regressive taxation. While it is true that folks with more money often buy more things and use more services, I do not believe that additional money in the pockets of the wealthy create as many jobs as more money in the pockets of the middle class."

• Environment

Excerpt: "During my 14 year tenure as a Representative in the State House I was a leading environmental legislator. In 2008, I was recognized by the Vermont Natural Resources Council (VNRC) as one of the top environmental legislators."

• Women’s Reproductive Freedom

Excerpt: "I am 100% pro-choice. I believe we need more education about reproduction and human health not less. The more we know, the more responsible we can be. This will improve the health of our young men and women."

• Agriculture

Excerpt: "As a farmer, I am well aware of the challenges we face as well as the great opportunities that we have. Vermont is in a unique position where we have a brand name and quality reputation that we can capitalize on. While I am most experienced in our diversified and value added agriculture community, I fully recognize that without a strong dairy presence, we do not have enough other agriculture to maintain our needed infrastructure."

Issues

Marijuana legalization

In January 2014, Zuckerman introduced legislation to legalize up to 2 ounces of marijuana at any one time, including a $50-per-ounce tax in order to cover the costs of regulation. As of July 2013, Vermont law allows possession of one ounce of marijuana, and the state does not collect taxes on it. Zuckerman supported more revenue in order to deal with treatment and recovery for addicts in the state: “[I]f there’s more revenue that we could then put toward treatment for those who are addicted to serious drugs then that would be a benefit,” Zuckerman said in an interview.

Charter schools

On February 8, 2013, Zuckerman and fellow Senators Donald Collins (D), Richard McCormack (D), and Richard Sears (D) introduced a bill requiring independent schools receiving public tuition funds for more than one-third of its students to hire only state-certified teachers, accept all publicly funded students who apply so long as space permits, provide free and reduced-price lunch to eligible students, and be approved to offer at least four categories of special education. John McClaughry of the Ethan Allen Institute, a free-market think tank, criticized what he considered a bill that lacked input from the schools. The Vermont Independent Schools Association also opposed the bill, saying, "State control of admissions and of hiring would strongly impair independent schools' ability to fulfill their unique missions." McCormack and bill supporters argued that the independent schools were weakening public education by attracting students and state tuition dollars away from public schools without being required to meet state mandates, such as the requirement to offer expensive special education services. The Vermont National Education Association and the Vermont School Board Association endorsed SB 91. The bill was referred to the Education Committee, chaired by McCormack. Collins and Zuckerman are also members of the five-member committee.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Vermont

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
