MIDDLEBURY RACE
Democratic candidates for the Addison-1 (Middlebury) House seat
•  Rep. Betty Nuovo

The two candidates who emerge from the Aug. 26 Democratic primary will go on to join two independents — Calvin McEathron, a Middlebury College student, and former UD-3 school board member Tom Hughes — in a four-way runoff for the two available seats.
VERGENNES AREA
There’s no primary scheduled in Addison-3, but Addison farmer Peter Briggs is asking voters in that House district to support his write-in campaign so that his name can appear on the Nov. 4 ballot.
In the General Election voters in Addison-3 (Vergennes, Ferrisburgh, Addison, Panton and Waltham) will also see Reps. Diane Lanpher, D-Vergennes, and Warren Van Wyck, R-Ferrisburgh, on the ballot for the two-seat district, as well as Addison Democrat John Spencer.
SIDE JUDGE WRITE-IN RACE
There are three Addison County side-judge candidates:
•  Alice George of Middlebury
•  Mark Smith of Middlebury
•  Irene Poole of Ripton
