We must do everything in our power to strengthen our public-school systems in their quality, rigor, equity and cost-effectiveness.

Vermont is one of the cleanest, most environmentally pristine states in our nation. But it is under threat from pollution to our streams and lakes, and from climate change.

I believe in a Vermont economy that provides livable-wage employment for all working adults. Jobs, that allow people to support themselves and their families. Creative work, that adds value to Vermonters’ lives. A robust economy, that allows entrepreneurs to innovate new businesses and pay employees fairly. Wages, that enable Vermonters to send their children to college and/or prepare for a secure retirement. Learn more
In Vermont, women are paid 84 cents for every dollar paid to men. On average, full-time female workers in Vermont lose a combined $1.5 billion every year due to the wage gap.
