The breadth of Governor Dean’s political experience has given him a unique perspective. Most recently, after achieving national prominence in his bid for the Democratic nomination for president, Governor Dean founded Democracy for America in 2004 to build on the groundswell of support and the wave of new energy sweeping the Party. He began his political career in the early 1980’s as the Chittenden County (Vermont) Democratic Party chair. In 1983, Dean was elected to the Vermont House of Representatives. He was then elected Lieutenant Governor in 1986 and was re-elected in 1988 and 1990. He became Vermont’s governor upon the death of Governor Richard A. Snelling on August 14, 1991. Elected to a full term in November 1992, Governor Dean was re-elected four more times and created a record based on fiscally conservative principles that promoted equality and opportunity for all the citizens of Vermont.
