Vermont’s congressional race is continuing to take shape and one senate hopeful is hoping to secure the Republican nomination for the second time.Gerald Malloy was a political newcomer back in 2022 when he faced off against Peter Welch, following the retirement of longtime senator Patrick Leahy.Two years later he said he was ready to do it again, only this time Malloy would be running against Sen. Bernie Sanders.”It’s a big day just turned in my petitions to run for the U.S. Senate, going up against Senator Bernie Sanders,” said Malloy. With just days left for major party candidates to file for their upcoming primaries, Gerald Malloy is getting ready to take on the political landscape for a second time, hoping to secure the Republican nomination and ultimately a U.S. Senate seat.”What I really want to say to all Vermonters is you have an opportunity here for change. If you keep voting in the same folks year after year, we’re going to be right where we are right now,” said Malloy.As he prepares for a second campaign run Malloy said he plans to focus on boosting the state’s job market, enforcing immigration laws, and addressing the ongoing issues of fentanyl use and distribution across the country.”We need to secure our borders, start enforcing immigration laws, start punishing China. that’s pumping that fentanyl into the United States and supporting our law enforcement community,” said Malloy. If he secures the republican nomination in August, Malloy would take on the nation’s longest-serving independent in Congress Bernie Sanders.Sanders has announced he is looking to secure a fourth term as a U.S. Senator.”What’s missing is relative experience,” said Malloy. Malloy says he is looking forward to a second run and debating Sanders when the time comes.”Business experience, military experience, foreign policy experience. I have all that experience, 40 years’ worth and across that produced results, not just talk, not just false promises,” he said.As of right now, no other Republicans have filed in the Senate race. The deadline to file for Vermont’s primary is Thursday, May 30.
