Priority Issues:

On the issues that face us:

"The job of a State Representative is to bring experience to the table, to listen, to learn, to find common ground whenever possible, and to take action on legislation that helps the State of Vermont serve its people best. I call on my own background and experience on some issues. And on many issues, I learn from others as the Legislature grapples with the complex and often difficult issues that face us."

I am guided by principles that include:

A fair and equitable tax system that raises sufficient revenue for the government services and schools that we all benefit from

  • A system that will ultimately provide universal and affordable health care for all Vermonters.
  • A sustainable energy future that focuses on efficiency and conservation (transportation, heat and electricity), and on responsible development of all types of renewable energy sources.
  • Making sure that Vermonters can make a living, and that those who need our help don't have to choose between eating and heating. Livable wages and livable working conditions.
  • Creating and keeping jobs that work for Vermont. Continued focus on economic development strategies that work for Vermont: clean energy, agriculture and food products, information technology, telecommunications, manufacturing, the arts and Vermont-friendly tourism.
  • The democratic process and public involvement.
