Experience vs Vision in Chittenden Sheriff Race | Burlington News
Description
In a high-stakes Democratic primary for Chittenden County sheriff, veteran law enforcement leader Dan Gamelin faces off against 32-year-old music studio owner and transgender activist Kevin Bloom. Gamelin, with 40 years in the department and a record of hundreds of arrests, champions experience and traditional policing. Bloom, with no law enforcement background, argues the role is mostly administrative and proposes a community-focused approach, especially on stopping evictions involving children. While Bloom believes sheriffs should be first responders to housing crises and enforce only when legally required, Gamelin insists law enforcement is core to the job and that his decades of leadership make him best suited to lead. Voters must choose between proven experience or a bold, new vision for public safety and housing.
