Zach Weight
State's Attorney-elect

"Zach stepped up when I asked him to serve as the Special Prosecutor in Chittenden County's Accountability Court. He was instrumental in its success working with law enforcement, service providers, and business owners to deliver results that held repeat offenders accountable and helped those who wanted to turn their lives around find resources and support to get back on track.

I was thrilled to see Zach step up, once again, to serve the folks of Franklin County as State's Attorney. I know he'll do a great job."

"During my last years serving Franklin County, I had opportunities to work with, and against, Zach Weight. He is a bright and capable attorney who showed me he knows how to achieve good results without expending limited resources or using too much time.

Most notably, Zach worked within our adversarial system without creating animosity. He is a professional attorney who will help keep the criminal justice system running smoothly. Zach Weight will serve Franklin County well as the next elected State's Attorney."

"I am deeply honored and grateful to receive the endorsement of the Vermont State Employees’ Association. Every single day across our courts and state agencies, dedicated frontline state employees work tirelessly to keep our justice system running and our communities supported, often under demanding circumstances.

Their expertise, integrity, and daily dedication are indispensable to a functioning, fair legal system. Having the trust of the hardworking public servants who do this vital work means everything to me, and as State’s Attorney, I will always respect, listen to, and stand alongside our state workforce."

"I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Vermont State Labor Council, AFL-CIO, for their endorsement and confidence in our campaign. Organized labor is fundamental to Vermont’s communities, championing workplace safety, economic dignity, and fair opportunities for working people.

A strong, accountable justice system must protect working families, stand up for victims, and ensure equal justice for all. I am proud to stand in solidarity with Vermont’s labor movement and will bring that dedication to fairness and accountability to the Franklin County State’s Attorney’s office."
