Roy no longer exploring


Republican Chris Roy of Williston announced this morning that his candidacy for secretary of state is no longer exploratory, but is for real.

He also announced he has the endorsement of his former neighbor, Martha Rainville, who will serve as an honorary chair of his campaign. Rainville, former Vermont adjutant general and unsuccessful candidate for U.S. House, won't presumably be able to vote for Roy, however, as last we heard she was down D.C. way.

The Barre native and lawyer has a new campaign Web site: www.roy4sos.com.

He is among those who are presuming that Democrat Deb Markowitz won't be running for re-election. She is exploring a campaign for governor in 2010.

Charles Merriman, a Middlesex lawyer, is running for the office as a Democrat.

Jim Condos for Sec of State!
 
Jim Condos is the best choice for this office - he's expressed interest and is well qualified as former chair of Senate Government Operations.
 
Annie Noonan for Deputy SOS
 
Condos, Condos!
 
Meh.
 
Condos had a long and successful career on the South Burl City Council including almost 10 yrs as Chair.

Condos served in the Vt Senate for 4 or 5 terms as well.

Condos has served on just about every County or Regional board.

Condos knows and understands local government.

Condos has the experience!
 
condos and noonan - no way!
 
Wow... Anonymous 9:17...

What has that got to do with anything?

You must be on the Governor's inside team or the Vt GOP inside team!
 
If Condos does run, voters are right to wonder why he left the legislature if he cares so much about the future of Vermont. This is the session when we needed his help the most and he decided for some reason to sit it out.
 
Condos has served on just about every County or Regional board.
