Vermonters Sweep Democrats Win Big In State Offices
Vermont voters delivered a two to one win for incumbent Democrat Philip H. Hoff over Lt. Gov Ralph Foote. Hoff becomes the first Democratic governor re-elected in Vermont in a century, with Democrats also capturing the lieutenant governor and attorney general secretary of state auditor and treasurer posts. The upset reflected disenchantment with Goldwater and broad Democratic gains, including Rutland City Mayor John Daley as the first Democratic lieutenant governor to preside over the state senate in over a century.
