Malloy vs Balint: Vermont's House Race | Montpelier News

Gerald Malloy, a Republican Army veteran and defense contractor, is poised to challenge incumbent Democrat Becca Balint in Vermont’s U.S. House race after cruising to a 76% primary win. Running on a platform aligned with Governor Phil Scott, Malloy criticizes Democrats for pushing “socialism” and driving up costs, while also supporting law enforcement — and even distancing himself from GOP extremes by opposing harsh immigration policies and urging Trump to soften his stance on Canada. Balint, unopposed in her party’s nomination, seeks a third term with a strong record of defeating GOP challengers. This fall’s showdown promises a clash of visions: Malloy aiming to bring Vermont’s priorities to Washington, Balint focused on continuity and experience.
