Vermont Lawmakers reelected Burlington Democrat Jill Krowinski as House Speaker Wednesday, turning back a challenge to her leadership from Rep. Laura Sibila (I-Dover).
Krowinski won by a 111 votes to Sibilia’s 35.
The vote was the first order of business as the House reconvened for a new biennium. Last week, Sibilia claimed to have 21 Democrats, Progressives and independents supporting her, and predicted that she would win if all 56 Republicans did so, too.
