What is one part of Vermont’s economy or cost of living that needs greater attention from elected officials?: “Our elected officials must give more attention to strengthening our rural economy. We must support and encourage agriculture of all shapes and sizes, and help family farms and small businesses.”
“I oppose the forced consolidation of schools. Public schools are an essential pillar of our communities and must be protected.”

If Vermont wants to support redistributive policies for the poorest, we need to increase taxes on wealth (i.e.”
“In general, I support it. I believe we need quality public services, including education, but it doesn't need to come at the expense of increasing property taxes to an unsustainable level. Consolidation means realizing efficiencies and leaner management.”
“Yes, because it would help reduce inequities between districts and standardize outcomes. I like Governor Scott's proposal to allow a certain amount of spending above a set cap if a district wants to increase spending for certain activities.”
