| Description | Former Vermont Gov. Philip Hoff. a Democrat, endorsed Progressive Anthony Pollina for governor Monday, giving the campaign a key boost as it continues reaching out to Democrats for support.
Hoff did not return a call for comment Monday, but in a letter published that same day in the Burlington Free Press, he called Pollina's candidacy "an opportunity" for unity between Democrats and Progressives in Vermont.

The endorsement comes at a time when Pollina, in his third run for high state office, is courting Democrats, who still do not have an announced candidate for governor for next November's election.
