Episode Details

Chittenden County’s Sheriff Dan Gamelin has locked in his second term, defeating challenger Kevin Bloom in a primary that highlighted the evolving role of sheriffs in Vermont. With a career spent inside the department and a recent push to expand services through private security contracts, Gamelin tapped into voter confidence—especially among moderate Democrats outside Burlington. Bloom, a musician and transgender advocate with no law enforcement background, campaigned on reforming evictions but couldn’t overcome the appeal of Gamelin’s experience and growth strategy. With no Republican opposition, Gamelin is poised for an easy general election win, cementing his leadership for the next four years and signaling voters’ comfort with his direction.
