Episode Details

Sarah George, Chittenden County’s progressive prosecutor, is running for a third term and proudly calls herself an “activist,” arguing that all prosecutors advocate for the values voters support. She defends her data-driven, community-focused approach—eschewing cash bail and targeting large-scale drug operations rather than individual users—as “smart on crime,” not soft. Facing a tougher-on-crime challenger who questions her policies, George remains steadfast, citing improved police cooperation and declining violent crime as proof her methods work. She also highlights the court system’s recovery from pandemic disruptions, signaling renewed momentum in justice reform.
