Vermont GOP chair Walter Kennedy announced he will seek another term with Gov. Snelling's apparent support ahead of next month’s party meeting.

In Washington County, Scott Skinner defeated Peter Watts for chair, while Chittenden saw Francis Murray upset by Bennett Greene. Windsor County chair Barbara Goldman was re elected.
