BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - If it feels like you’re seeing more political ads this cycle, you’re not wrong. With a contested governor’s race in Vermont and heated U.S. House and Senate races in New York and New Hampshire, a flood of ads is reaching voters as candidates work to get their names and messages out in the final weeks of the campaign. You’ve likely seen the ads from Republican Gov. Phil Scott calling for moderation in Montpelier and asking voters for another two years in office. “We will grow Vermont’s economy and make it more affordable for everyone-- that’s my commitment to you,” Scott says in the ad. It strikes a similar positive tone to ads crafted by Scott’s challenger, Progressive Democrat Amanda Janoo. “If we come together to protect what we love and produce what we need, I know we will not only weather the storms ahead but lead a better way forward,” Janoo says in the ad.
