BRATTLEBORO — Isaac Evans-Frantz, who is running for that U.S. Senate seat from Vermont, has a record of national and worldwide advocacy and coalition-building which is highlighted, in part, by recent news.
Isaac's role was key in the July 14 Senate introduction of the War Powers Resolution for Yemen, as well as the House version on June 1. His efforts were crucial in 2018–19 as well, in the first round of bipartisan legislation for Yemen, before it was vetoed by Trump.
Endorsed by the Vermont Progressive Party, Burlington City Councilor Joe Magee, and Progressive Wave, Isaac steps out in front of an issue. At the start, he investigates, listens, learns, then takes a public stand.
He led the national campaign for a just economic recovery from Covid, building bridges among groups with tens of millions of members, to win the highest release of international funds ever. This included, one year ago and at no cost to U.S. taxpayers, $2.7 billion in new funds for Ukraine.
I am disappointed that VTDigger still hasn't added a debate for the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat to its schedule. The absence of this primary race in their lineup is conspicuous. It's hard to understand why VTDigger has overseen the range of other vital statewide seats but has not more fully covered this important race for the U.S. Senate.
