I think Phil Scott is pretty solid and I vote pretty blue nowadays. I think it's fair and good for the rural soul of this State to have someone that grew up in Barre, VT at the helm.

The one thing I was mildly irritated/amused by was how he seemed to receive a lot of personal credit for how Vermont navigated Covid with our relatively low numbers.

Surely he deserved some credit, but when a sizable portion of your entire State probably read the New York Times daily and listen to NPR and takes informing themselves pretty seriously by serious news outlets - was it really Scott driving the low Covid numbers or was he merely the beneficiary of living amongst a pretty informed citizenry? A left-leaning citizenry, at that.
