Vermont Democrats Kick Off 2020 Virtual State Convention
DNC Chair Tom Perez announced as a keynote speaker -
MONTPELIER, VT -- On Monday, May 25, Vermont Democratic Party Chair Terje Anderson called the 2020 State Democratic Convention to order shortly after 5:00 PM.
- “While I had expected
to call these proceedings to order next Saturday in a
gathering of hundreds at the historic Barre Municipal
Auditorium (a wonderful New Deal public works project
building constructed in 1939) — I am no less excited to
kick things off virtually,” Anderson wrote to convention
delegates. “As Chair of the Vermont Democratic Party, I
proudly and enthusiastically declare the 2020 VDP State
Convention voting to be open.”
- This year, due to
COVID-19, the Vermont Democratic Party made the decision
to, for the first time in party history, hold the state
convention virtually. The Party’s growing staff have
worked around the clock to build an innovative and
engaging virtual experience for convention delegates and
attendees, which can be found at vtdems.us/2020.
- The convention website
kicks off the virtual experience with addresses from our
keynote speakers, DNC Chair Tom Perez and Congressman
Ro Khanna (D-CA). Then, moving through the site,
delegates and guests can find personal statements and
video messages from candidates running to fill the
coveted DNC district-level delegate positions for Vice
President Biden and Senator Sanders.
- The 2020 convention
further includes a live question and answer event
featuring Congressman Ro Khanna, a training on digital
fundraising sponsored by ActBlue, multimedia messages
from Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Bernie
Sanders, as well as messages from Senator Leahy,
Congressman Welch and the rest of the VDP’s
statewide incumbents and candidates.
- This year’s convention
includes 494 state convention delegates from all 14
counties -- 228 of which are delegates for Vice
President Joe Biden and 266 of which are delegates for
Senator Bernie Sanders. Those state delegates for each
Biden and Sanders will have the opportunity to elect
district-level delegates to the Democratic National
Convention, which is slated for August in Milwaukee, WI.
There are 36 candidates for district-level delegate for
Biden and 41 for Sanders.
- “This isn’t exactly how
we thought we would spend the 2020 State Convention, but
we’re certainly no less excited to get this
party-building process underway,” said party
spokesperson R. Christopher Di Mezzo. “We’re
grateful to Democrats across the state who have stepped
up during these uncertain times to engage in this
democratic process. Because of the virtual nature of th
