For those of you wondering whether Anthony Pollina's lack of an official campaign announcement meant he was giving himself an out if the right Democrat came along, wonder no more.
Progressive Pollina will hold that kickoff at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at the Center for Technology in Essex.
"No matter where I go, people come up to me and thank me for running," Pollina said in a news release. "There is a lot of frustration with the current administration and politics as usual. Vermonters know we can do better."
Ben & Jerry's co-founder Ben Cohen and dairy farmer/Irasburg Democratic Town Chairwoman Maureen Lehouillier will join Pollina on the stage.
