The legislature should consider a wide variety of options including consolidation of school buildings and districts, the delivery of special education services, the delivery of mental and emotional health services, and the public tuitioning system. It is imperative we have an open and robust public engagement process to ensure that all Vermonters can share their ideas and concerns. Public education is critical to ensure all Vermonters have an opportunity to learn and thrive and is vital if we want to retain and attract families to our beautiful state. Learn more

Every Vermonter should have access to quality healthcare when they need it regardless of income or employer. No one should be faced with the impossible decision of choosing between putting food on the table and paying for their prescription medications or a visit to their doctor.

Therefore, we must take steps to increase the supply of housing, especially affordable housing, and address long-standing economic and racial inequities in our housing markets. Learn more
I support a housing-first approach to ending homelessness. This approach, prioritizes providing stable housing as the first and fundamental step toward helping individuals break the cycle of homelessness. By securing stable housing first, individuals are better positioned to address other challenges in their lives, such as mental health, substance use, or unemployment. Learn more
