| Description | His name had been bandied about for months as a possible Democratic candidate for governor of Vermont, but Peter Galbraith of Townshend was hesitant to commit to running.
With outgoing House Speaker Gaye Symington declaring her candidacy on Monday, Galbraith has made it official -- he won't be seeking statewide office in November.
Galbraith, the former ambassador to Croatia in the Clinton administration, said in a phone interview Monday that he is backing Symington.
"I enjoyed the time I spent going around the state and talking to people," said Galbraith. "But there comes a point in public life when you come to the conclusion that you should stick to the things you do best. I never decided I was going to run, so it's hard to make an announcement about something you never decided." |
