Lisman expressed pride in his campaign, noting that he forced Scott to talk about important issues facing Vermonters. He said he was thankful for the friendship, support and advice he received throughout the campaign.
At ArtsRiot in Burlington's South End, Democrat Matt Dunne thanked supporters after he called Minter to concede.
