Vermont GOP Primary Showdown | Burlington News
Description
In a high-stakes Republican primary for Vermont’s U.S. House seat, veteran Army vet Gerald Malloy and longtime logger Mark Coester clash over experience vs. grassroots authenticity — Malloy touts his defense contracting and government ties, while Coester, dubbed “send a logger to Congress,” rails against career politicians. Coester’s AI-generated campaign videos have drawn legal scrutiny, which Malloy uses to paint him as unstable. Despite Coester’s passionate appeal to working-class voters, Malloy leads in fundraising and polling, with 58% of GOP voters backing him — and only 6% supporting Coester — as the August 11 primary looms. Whoever wins faces a tough November battle against incumbent Becca Balint.
