Balint poised to become Vermont’s first woman in Congress after primary win
Becca Balint, the leader of Vermont’s Senate, is poised to become the state’s first woman in Congress after she was projected to have beat out Lt. Gov. Molly Gray in the Democratic primary for the state’s at-large House seat on Tuesday.
The Associated Press called the race at 8:47 p.m. ET.
“We proved them wrong. I was the long shot. I was the underdog,” Balint told her supporters at an election night party, according to Seven Days. “But this campaign wasn’t built on connections. It was built on relationships.”
Gray issued a statement conceding at about 8:40 p.m.
