John Rodgers

John Rodgers serves as the 84th Lieutenant Governor of Vermont, representing Orleans County as a Republican. A farmer and former legislator from Glover, he left the Democratic Party over concerns about the rising cost of living, arguing that the legislative supermajority was "callously increasing" expenses for working Vermonters. In his first year in office, he has focused on affordability issues including property taxes, home heating costs, and health insurance premiums, and has highlighted bipartisan achievements in housing, infrastructure, and education reform.
