Vermont State House Chittenden-2 District (unopposed)

What is one part of Vermont’s economy or cost of living that needs greater attention from elected officials?: “I wouldn't say that there's a single part of the economy that needs more attention from elected officials. What we need is continued attention on all aspects of Vermont's economy, including housing, health care, education, and workforce needs.”

“I support some of the steps we've taken as a legislature but I don't believe that consolidation should be the focus when it comes to education. There is a need for some school districts to move forward with consolidation, but it is not the panacea that the Governor would like us to believe.”

“Given the complexity of education funding and the number of social services that are included in school budgets, this is not a yes or no question. I could potentially support such legislation depending on the formula used to determine what the base spending amount set by the state would be, and whether or how regional differences in cost of labor are included.”

“Brady said, "For the past four years, I have been honored to represent Williston as our state confronts complex challenges in our society and economy. I have sought to collaborate and build relationships with legislators and stakeholders with a wide variety of perspectives.” (Campaign Website)

“Despite the challenges, Brady expressed optimism about the work ahead, "One of the most pronounced lessons I've learned as a public school teacher of 18 years is the cumulative effect of inequitable opportunities and experiences on young people and their families.” (Campaign Website)

“Brady is a public high school teacher and lives in Williston with her husband, Ted Brady, and their two sons, Patrick and Evan. Brady said, "while it is challenging to raise a family, teach and serve in the Legislature, I believe it's important that we have voices from working families in Montpelier.” (Campaign Website)
