Don Turner Jr.

Lt. Governor Candidate Don Turner’s Public Appearance Schedule for October 23rd through October 29th

Milton, VT - Today, State Representative and candidate for Lieutenant Governor Don Turner announced his public schedule for Tuesday, October 23rd through Monday, October 29th. Don will be meeting with Vermonters to discuss his focus on affordability.

There is an unforgettable photo of F16’s from the Vermont Air National Guard over New York City in the hours after the attacks of September 11 th . A source of great pride for our Green Mountain Boys forever ensconced in a time of national tragedy. On that day our Nation was under attack and the threat was unknown. But the brave men and women of the 158th Fighter Wing did not hesitate for a milli-second to put in place all that they had trained and prepared for. And in those days after the Twin Towers fell,
when the skies were void of airline traffic, the only sound we did hear were the F16’s coming and going from their patrols over the east coast. It was a sound that made us feel safe, a sound that confirmed for us we were being protected, it is the sound of our freedom.

I’m writing to ask you to join me in supporting Don Turner for Lieutenant Governor of Vermont.

During his time in the Legislature, Don has been a consistent supporter of the National Guard our mission, and all service members. He supported the successful effort this past legislative session to provide tuition-free college to Vermont National Guard members who attend Vermont state schools. This will help our National Guard members achieve their educational goals. It will also be an important recruitment and retention tool for the Vermont National Guard. I expect more community “win-wins” from Don Turner as Lt. Governor.

Dear Editor,

In my many years spent in service of Winooski in the Vermont State Legislature, I met many great leaders from all sides of the aisle.  What makes a great leader in the legislature is the ability to work with others, put your own beliefs aside, and do what is best for your constituents and for the state of Vermont.  One such leader who I have grown to respect very much is Don Turner, and that is why I am supporting his run for Lieutenant Governor.

Throughout my 17 years representing the people of Essex in the Vermont House of Representatives, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Representative Don Turner on many issues. Don has been a leading champion for economic expansion, fiscal responsibility, and pro-growth policies in our state.

Over the years, I’ve been impressed with Don’s ability to unite people of different viewpoints. Don brings a wealth of experience to the important issues Vermonters are facing. As a legislator, House Minority Leader, Milton Town Manager, first responder, and fourth-generation Vermonter, he is able to see things from many different perspectives to foster collaboration.

During my time in the House of Representatives, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some great colleagues. Perhaps highest among them is Representative Don Turner.
