In the election, he prevailed over opponents Hinda Miller, Democrat, and Kevin Curley, Republican.

With his election Kiss became the second Vermont Progressive to be elected to the office (Peter Clavelle was the first).

2009

Kiss won re-election in 2009, and was endorsed by Vermont's Independent U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders.

After re-election Mayor Kiss and the City of Burlington faced significant challenges related to Burlington Telecom, a city-owned and operated fiber-to-the-home telecommunications enterprise.
