Candidates and platforms

Duval's campaign website, Jared for House, emphasizes affordable housing, including homeownership opportunities. He supports a more progressive tax system that relieves lower- and middle-income Vermonters while requiring higher-income residents to contribute more. He also backs public education, opposes forced school consolidation and supports more equitable education funding.

Duval has also called for universal, affordable health care, stronger civil rights protections, and investments in flood resilience. He supports expanding affordable housing through the Vermont Housing Improvement Program and greater statewide coordination to address homelessness.

In a question-and-answer article published by The Bridge, McCann called for shifting state funding away from temporary emergency housing placements and toward permanent housing. She also supported converting underused state and commercial properties into affordable apartments, expanding community-based shelters and increasing access to mental health services.

McCann criticized Gov. Phil Scott (R-VT) for vetoing legislation meant to lower health insurance costs, arguing the decision made affordability harder for Vermonters. She also supported creating a new marginal income tax bracket to generate additional revenue for essential services.

District and chamber

Washington-4 is a two-member Vermont House district representing Montpelier. McCann won reelection, while Duval secured his first term in the Legislature, succeeding former Democratic state Rep. Conor Casey. Both candidates also received the Vermont Progressive Party nomination.
