ADDISON COUNTY — County voters joined their counterparts statewide in supporting incumbents for statewide office, most notably Republican Gov. Phil Scott, Democratic/Progressive Lt. Gov. David Zuckerman, Independent U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Democratic U.S. Rep. Peter Welch.

Welch was the top vote-getter among all county candidates, topping Sanders and Democratic Attorney General T.J. Donovan, who received the third-most votes.
Donovan picked up 11,129 county votes in topping Republican Janssen Willhoit’s 3,695, good for a roughly 3-1 margin. Donovan ran the table in the county.
