Vermont’s High Bailiff Race | Burlington News
Description
Five candidates are vying for Vermont’s rare and powerful role of high bailiff in Chittenden County — a position designed to hold the sheriff accountable, with duties ranging from stepping in when the sheriff can’t perform to, in rare cases, arresting them. Though the job doesn’t involve daily action, its symbolic weight is huge, sparking debate over whether law enforcement experience is essential or if community connection and civilian oversight matter more. From seasoned cops and Marine veterans to a business-minded educator and an 18-year-old aiming to bridge community gaps, each contender brings a unique vision — but all agree: this role must serve the people, stay impartial, and uphold justice, no matter who wins the sheriff’s race.
