David Zuckerman (born August 16, 1971) is an American businessman, farmer, and Vermont Progressive Party politician currently serving as the 81st Lieutenant Governor of Vermont, since 2017.
He previously served in the Vermont House of Representatives for six terms (1997–2011), and the Vermont Senate for two (2013–2017). In 2016 Zuckerman ran for lieutenant governor as a Progressive, and also received the nomination of the Democratic Party by defeating Speaker of the Vermont House of Representatives Shap Smith and Representative Kesha Ram in the Democratic primary.
He defeated Republican State Senator Randy Brock in the 2016 general election.
Zuckerman was re-elected in 2018. Zuckerman is the first Progressive Party candidate to win statewide office in Vermont.
Other Progressive-endorsed candidates who have won statewide-office elections, including Doug Hoffer for Vermont State Auditor, were primarily affiliated with the Vermont Democratic Party.
Zuckerman's win further secured Vermont as a state with strong, constant presence of a major party other than the Democratic and Republican parties.
