Bernie Sanders is leaving Congress. The “independent” from Vermont is vacating a seat he has held for many years. In his place, he leaves a potential pick up of a seat for the Republicans.

The state party has unofficially endorsed the candidacy of Republican Maj. Gen. Martha Rainville, who until recently was the adjutant general of the Vermont National Guard. She stepped down from her post to run for Congress, and national Republican money is already pumping into her coffers.

The Republican primary is September 12, and if the General wins, this may be quite a race.
