That within that big tent, I'm on the Bernie Sanders end, where I support progressive taxes to pay for the services for Vermonters. I think it's a bit odd that my opponent supports ranked choice voting because I think Kitty Toll would be our lieutenant governor right now if we would have had [ranked choice voting] two years ago. I have never been a partisan person and much more than my opponent. I have always been known as a person who voted for my constituents, and that's what this is all about. (44:07–44:14)
