State Senator Brian Collamore (R-Rutland) is seeking his fifth term in the Vermont State Senate. Collamore, who serves on both the Senate Agriculture Committee and the Senate Government Operations Committee, is hopeful that he can continue to work to grow the local economy, make Vermont more affordable, and protect Vermont’s most vulnerable citizens.
As a member of the Vermont State Senate, Collamore has staunchly advocated for fiscal prudence, investments in economic growth, tax relief, and support for the truly needy. He has worked closely with Gov. Scott and legislators from across the aisle to put aside partisanship and pass common-sense reforms for Vermonters.
In addition to his service on the Senate Agriculture Committee and Senate Government Operations Committee, Collamore has worked tirelessly as Co-Chair of the Government Accountability Committee, Vice Chair of the Senate Reapportionment Committee, member of the Sunset Advisory Committee, and member of the Judicial Nominating Board.
“If Rutland County residents trust me again with their vote, I will continue to fiercely advocate for the interests of our region,” added Collamore. “Now more than ever we need to roll up our sleeves and ensure Vermonters’ voices are heard in the State House.”

Dave Weeks, originally from Wallingford, now residing in Proctor is a candidate to represent Rutland County as one of the 3 State Senators.
Foremost on Dave’s agenda is regional economic rejuvenation via business incentives and tourism enhancement. He recognizes the uniqueness of Vermont’s natural beauty/resources and the abundant underutilized local economic infrastructure. Dave sees a critical need for investing in highways/broadband infrastructure, lowering taxation, tourism rebranding, and working closely with our New York/New Hampshire/Massachusetts/Canadian neighbors.
As a political moderate and fiscal conservative, he is highly skilled at diplomacy and seeking consensus but believes strongly that the status quo in VT is not good enough. He is an extremely strong advocate of small government and minimal taxation.
Dave is a highly trained business diplomat specializing in restabilizing projects beyond a billion dollars; 31-year veteran as a Navy Captain/Marine enlisted; Iraq veteran; Mill River/UVM graduate with three master’s degrees in business/strategic planning/public administration as well as PhD studies in national security; balanced environmentalist; strong education advocate; and a youth organization volunteer.
Devoted husband, father and son; youngest sibling of Bob and Gerry Weeks of Wallingford, married to Leeanne (education PhD currently leading an overseas international K-12 school), parent to son Jake (biotech CPA), daughter Sarah (Physical Assistant student), step-son Mitch (music producer), and step-daughter Cassandra (undergrad student).
Dave’s abundant government experience with the highest levels of national/international leadership and the critical work of the Chambers of Commerce have inspired his drive to stabilize the chaos in government and the unfortunate erosion of faith in public institutions, and has enhanced a relentless emphasis on service for our community and our state.
To put his legislative goals in a nutshell, Dave stated, “My focus now is to rejuvenate the economic condition in Rutland County while respecting the unique soul of Vermont.”
