I am grounded in values of family, community, and collaboration; these are my north star, personally, and professionally. In these challenging times, I know that my experience working with others to successfully navigate often unexpected and unwanted change will make a difference in the Vermont statehouse..
- I am committed to ensuring that family voices are heard, and that policy and budgetary decisions clearly reflect the input of those most likely to be impacted.
- I will work to ensure that our working lands and waterways are preserved, and that Vermont's agricultural heritage and sense of community are foundational to our way forward in these challenging times of pandemic, climate change, and economic uncertainty for many.
- I will work to create a Vermont economy that works for EVERYONE. I am committed to a well-educated workforce, liveable wages, and childcare and eldercare options that work for families and employers. To make employment opportunities successful, we need to ensure that housing, transportation, health care and education are stable, accessible, and affordable.
