Sue Minter on Sunday at the University of Vermont, with Congressman Peter Welch and Sen. Patrick Leahy
A new radio advertisement featuring President Barack Obama singing Sue Minter's praises is set to debut on Vermont radio stations Wednesday morning.
The Democratic gubernatorial candidate has purchased $10,500 worth of air time to run the ad, according to a disclosure filed Tuesday with the Secretary of State's Office.
"Sue has the right ideas about creating an economy that works for all Vermonters — not corporations or the wealthy," Obama says in the ad. "And she's the right choice for middle class families."
The president also gives a shout-out to Vermont's congressional delegation.
"Vermont has a great team in Bernie Sanders, Patrick Leahy and Peter Welch," Obama says. "That's why they've all endorsed Sue Minter, and I hope you join me and them in supporting her."
