Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos Announces Retirement 02/15/2022

Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos announces he will not be seeking re-election and will retire at the end of his term as Vermont’s 38th Secretary of State.

Abridged statement from Sec. Condos:

"Over the last 35 years, it has been my great honor to serve the people of Vermont as a public servant:

As Vermont’s Secretary of State for the last 12-years;
Before that, as an 8-year Chittenden County State Senator;
And, As an 18-year South Burlington City Council member.

During these many years as a public official, I have worked hard to serve Vermont’s citizens in a professional and dutiful manner, always striving to make our government more efficient, accessible, and transparent for all Vermonters.

While I have enjoyed this job every day, I am looking forward to the next chapter in my life starting in January, after my term concludes.

I want to thank all Vermonters for your support, and for the privilege of allowing me to serve you during my 35+ years of elected public service.

It has been the honor of my lifetime, and I am grateful to have been provided the opportunity to help protect, defend, and expand our democracy.

Thank you, stay safe, be well, and please, do your part to keep our State a welcoming and respectful place for all Vermonters.”
