2018: In the Caledonia-2 district, Lawrence Hamel, a Republican from Hardwick, is running for a House seat. A gun trainer and development corporation owner who received a “strong pro 2A” ranking from Gun Owners of Vermont, Hamel has run two times already, but lost to incumbent Rep. Joseph Troiano, D-Stannard.
Hamel sees an opportunity to win, however, now that Troiano carries an “extreme anti-gun” ranking. He said he wasn’t sure about running, but S.55 and the cost of living and working in Vermont have persuaded him to try a third time.
“We had no gun control ever and the lowest gun crime rate in the country,” Hamel said. “This was a solution in search of a problem.”
"In past races, Troiano defeated Hamel by fewer than 100 votes, out of about 2,000 votes cast."
Let's make that a WIN by 100 votes in 2018! |
