Voters will have to decide who they want to elect in Vermont by Nov. 3.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, this has been one of the most unusual campaign seasons in Vermont history. It's been difficult for candidates to hold political rallies and meet with members of the public. This hour, we talk with a roundtable of Vermont reporters about the people and issues that are shaping political campaigns in 2020. 

Our guests are:

  • John Dillon, senior reporter for VPR
  • Paul Heintz, staff writer for Seven Days
  • Xander Landen, political reporter for VTDigger

Broadcast live on Thursday, Oct. 29, 2020 at noon. Rebroadcast at 7 p.m.
