VT Democratic Senators to Vote on Leader

Posted: Updated:
MONTPELIER, Vt. -

The 23 Democrats in the 30-member Vermont Senate are planning to elect a new leader for the upcoming session of the Legislature.
 
Sen. Ann Cummings, of Washington County, is challenging Senate President Pro Tempore John Campbell, of Windsor County, for the job Campbell has held for the last two years.
 
The full Senate will vote on the leadership position in January, but it's presumed the majority party's choice will prevail.
 
Cummings says she's seeking the job held by Campbell because of what she calls the "dysfunction" of the last two years.
 
Campbell, meanwhile, tells the Burlington Free Press he believes he has the votes to win re-election, but he says he's heard the complaints about how the chamber has been run and he's promising to make changes.
