Amanda Janoo, a 38-year-old economist and political newcomer, narrowly won Vermont's Democratic primary for governor Tuesday, beating Aly Richards by about 2,500 votes, and will face incumbent Republican Governor Phil Scott in November. The Associated Press called the race around 11 pm Tuesday, with Janoo leading Richards roughly 49% to 46%, according to WCAX. Before this campaign, Janoo had never run for office and was virtually unknown in Vermont politics, according to Vermont Public. Janoo has called for universal primary health care funded by higher taxes on the state's top earners, according to WCAX and Vermont Public.
