What is one part of Vermont’s economy or cost of living that needs greater attention from elected officials?: “Vermont needs to focus on building an economy that creates good-paying jobs and makes it easier for people to afford to live here. We should make Vermont a great place to start and grow responsible businesses, attract investment in areas like green energy, advanced manufacturing, and technology, and strengthen our existing small businesses.”
“I believe we must begin with a fundamental question: What educational opportunities should every Vermont student have regardless of ZIP code? Then determine the most efficient structure for delivering.”
“I believe in state responsibility for equitable baseline funding and reasonable cost controls, while preserving meaningful local authority over priorities, supplemental spending, and continued voter accountability.”

What is one part of Vermont’s economy or cost of living that needs greater attention from elected officials?: “When workers can organize, negotiate fair wages, and exercise meaningful leverage, they are better equipped to afford housing, healthcare, childcare, and everyday necessities. As Co-Chair of the Working Vermonters' Caucus, I have watched organized labor and working people be disregarded as legislative priorities are developed.”
“Consolidation cannot become a predetermined answer to every district's challenges. We are not going to balance public education on the backs of teachers, paraeducators, and school staff.”
“Potentially, yes. I am open to a statewide foundational model if base funding is adequate and meaningful student weights remain intact.”
