My name is Nate Freeman and I'm running for Lieutenant Governor because Vermont needs a candidate with three strong leadership qualities.  We need a candidate who is:   Committed to hard work and dedicated to the needs of Vermonters; Creative in delivering new solutions to the most important issues we face; and a Candidate who can beat Brian Dubie. I am that candidate, and I ask for your vote on September 9th in the crucial Democratic primary.  Together we can create a new legacy of success and achievement for a new generation of Vermonters.    With your support, as Lieutenant Governor I will help Vermonters:   Stimulate new sources of energy while improving efficiency and conservation measures; Support opportunities for high-growth start-up businesses; and Prepare for the impact of climate change. Turnout on September 9th is expected to be very light, so your vote will make a huge difference.    I encourage you to check back on NateFreeman.com often in the next couple of weeks as I will to continue to detail my plans for a new direction for Vermont that can improve our lives for decades to come.  Together, with our shared traditions of resourcefulness, creativity and determination, we can get to work on all of the issues the Douglas & Dubie administration has ignored the last six years.   I believe elected officials need to put a stake in the ground and be accountable to the needs of Vermonters.  This is why I need your vote and support September 9th in the Democratic Party primary.  To contribute to my campaign, please click here.     I appreciate your support and I look forward to hearing from you.   Sincerely,   Nate Freeman Democratic Candidate for Lt.
