Governor — Vermont · First run

Amanda Janoo

Amanda Janoo is an economist from Strafford who had never run for office before 2026. She won the August Democratic primary, and polls show her trailing or tied with Republican Gov. Phil Scott, who is seeking a sixth term.

On the ballot against Phil Scott (R)

Why it matters: Scott has been ranked among the nation's most popular governors, and Janoo's challenge is described as the tightest race for governor in about a decade.
