Progressive party

Opposition to Bush administration

On April 25, 2006, Zuckerman introduced a resolution for the Vermont State Legislature to ask the United States Congress to impeach President George W. Bush. The motion failed 87–60 in a roll call vote on April 25, 2007.

Property tax reformEdit

Zuckerman supported a bill to lower property tax rates for households earning less than $200K in the 2015–16 session. He also helped pass legislation to model this reform in time for the 2017 session.

Equal pay

Zuckerman was a sponsor of H.440 in 2001, a bill which would require equal pay for equal work.

GMO labeling

In 2014, Zuckerman was the lead Senate author of Vermont's first-in-the-nation GMO Labeling Law.[23]

Labor

Zuckerman has been a strong advocate of raising the minimum wage, paid family leave, and increasing protections for workers

No candidate is perfect, but these 4 (2 democrats, a GOP & an Independent) has the ability to energize & unify the voters in this country as oppose to the current administration. Baby-boomers & Millenials can rally around these hopeful 2020 candiates.
