Wednesday, November 12, 2014 — Issue 280

VERNON — Thank you to all the people who voted in this month's election. I am honored to have been reelected to represent Guilford and Vernon in Montpelier.

Being elected is a humbling experience. So is knowing that the people of my district have trust in me to continue working diligently to address their concerns and working with my fellow legislators in moving Vermont forward.

I renew my promise to you that I will represent all the people of Guilford and Vernon equally and to the best of my ability.

I applaud the voters of Marlboro for adopting language that expresses the town's “support [for] the civil rights of all people, without regard to their race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, age, and education level.” A nice practical step might be to welcome folks to swim responsibly at South Pond.
