I honor and respect all those other Vermonters who, like me, are nobly graying, but it does seem to me that a bit of youthful enthusiasm is just the thing for Montpelier. And my experience working with others around the world leads me to believe that Vermont might be wise to end its drought of women in statewide office; the challenges we confront are deep enough that we need everybody hard at work.”

Ending mass incarceration, ending out-of-state corrections placements, ending racial disparities in sentencing, ending the militarization of our various police forces - all of these issues will have a passionate advocate in Montpelier if Molly is elected. Add to that her tireless advocacy for rural Vermont, and Molly presents a powerful case to all Vermonters, everywhere in the state, that she will have their backs. I’ll be voting for Molly Gray come November, and I hope you will too.”

Senator Chris Bray, Addison County

“Campaigns are generally all about what the candidate wants to accomplish if elected. They are a mixture of a vision of the future and plans to get there. Meanwhile, whether politicians like to think so or not, how they campaign now tells you a lot about how they will serve. In these particularly troubled times, we need leaders who are going to bring both their heads and their hearts to the work. I see both in Molly. I appreciate her thorough, energetic, and fair-minded campaign — along with her record of public work at the highest levels. And I appreciate Molly’s kindness. Smart, hardworking, and kind.

Being brought up on a farm and spent time as a competitive Nordic skier shows a strength of character that will help Vermont. Molly will make an excellent Lieutenant Governor.”

Adam Grinold, Wilmington

Molly is Vermont-grown, she knows Vermont, and she is committed to serving our state.

The time is right, and the right candidate it Molly.”

There’s so much urgent work to do in this beautiful little state and I believe we can lead the way and be models for a brighter, stronger community. It’s rare to find a candidate that excites me across the board and I’m delighted Molly is running for Lt. Governor!”

Scudder Parker, former State Senator from Caledonia County

“I, along with my wife, Susan Sussman, am excited to endorse Molly Gray in her run for Lieutenant Governor. Molly will bring new vision and creativity to governing Vermont. Our state has noble goals and bold claims to leadership in human and environmental justice. But we aren’t getting there. How will we address income inequality? How will we create a new economy of justice, environmental restoration; good jobs in the new and growing businesses that bring us a quality local food, affordable housing and a sustainable energy system; fair pay for those who educate our children and care for our elderly? We need leaders who do not recite “why we can’t” but begin to figure out “how we can.” Molly is one of those emerging leaders.”

In our conversations, Molly has shown all of this and more, which makes me proud to support this powerful woman as she moves to make our brave little state even better."

Lindsay DesLauriers, President of Bolton Valley Resort

“I’m supporting Molly Gray for Lieutenant Governor because I believe she understands the needs of our family businesses better than any of the other candidates. Like so many other businesses in our state, we live and die by the weather—with her background growing up on a family farm, Molly gets that challenge. Outdoor recreation is an important and growing part of our state’s economy that is tied to the health of our natural landscape and that depends on the preservation of our natural resources. I trust Molly to understand the balance that must exist between the needs and realities of running a business and the preservation of the environment we depend on. I am also confident that Molly will be a strong advocate for the needs of our families and a champion of critical policy reforms like universal paid family and medical leave, affordable child care and universal pre-k, and a much needed overhaul of our healthcare system.”

I am proud to support Molly Gray and her vision for a Vermont that thrives in all corners of our state.”

Representative Jim Masland of Thetford Center

“Molly Gray will make a terrific Lieutenant Governor. Growing up on a farm on the banks of the Connecticut River provided her with a deep appreciation of Vermont's natural beauty and an undeniable connection to the land. But she didn't stop there. As an Assistant Attorney General, she understands the inner workings of policy and the law. She's articulate, energetic, and enthusiastic about Vermont's future. Molly is deeply committed to people of all ages and particularly the aspirations of our young people. She is our future.”

Washington County State’s Attorney Rory Thibault

 “As a colleague of Molly’s I have seen first-hand the profound empathy and respect she brings to her work. Molly recognizes criminal justice reform is not enough on its own: we must address the underlying issues of poverty, trauma, intolerance, and lack of opportunity among our most marginalized populations. Molly’s vision for Vermont is based on taking a whole community approach – from our rural villages to the Queen City.  She will provide the leadership and fresh perspective Vermont needs in this moment as Lieutenant Governor.”

Vergennes Mayor, Jeff Fritz

“Perhaps now, more than any other time, Vermonters need to consider a new way of thinking, a new strategy, to bravely move forward in our new reality. We need vocal and creative leadership to confront the issues that are the core of our values: paid family leave, equal access to housing, the elimination of food insecurity, as well as infrastructure that can support the economic future of our Brave Little State. I believe Molly Gray is that kind of visionary. As a Vermonter born, raised and educated in our state, she is uniquely qualified to appreciate the issues we face on a local and state-wide level. It is my pleasure to endorse Molly for the office of Lieutenant Governor.”

Grand Isle County State's Attorney Doug DiSabito

“Molly comes from one of the most rural areas of Vermont. As the State’s Attorney for Grand Isle County since 2015, I am always working to safeguard access to justice in our own rural corner of Vermont. Molly not only understands how fundamental and crucial this is, but she will be a strong and effective partner in criminal justice and public safety as our next Lieutenant Governor.

Representative Laura Sibilia of West Dover, Vermont

“When I asked Molly pre-pandemic what she was going to accomplish as Lt. Governor she told me she was going to bring attention to the issues of rural Vermont. I have been completely impressed with her commitment and ability to do just that during her campaign - which is happening in the midst of the most serious emergency of our lifetime. Vermonters have shown time and again they care more about issues and getting things done then partisanship. Molly IS a  rural Vermonter and her commitment to that Vermont ethos of working across the aisle to get things done is why I am supporting her.”

Chittenden County State’s Attorney Sarah George

“Many politicians use the struggles of rural communities, young professionals and women as talking points to get themselves elected, yet few of them actually know those struggles personally and even fewer follow-through on their promises to relieve such struggles.

Donovan. I know Molly will bring that same level of dedication to the Office of Lieutenant Governor. I am proud to support Molly and be part of her campaign.”

I support Molly Gray as Lieutenant Governor for seeing and planning a bright future for Vermont’s rural communities and the landscapes and businesses like mine.”
