WILMINGTON — Tristan Roberts, an honest man of deep thought and integrity, will have my vote for state representative for residents in Halifax, Whitingham (our home from 1988 to 1992), and Wilmington (our home for the last 30 years).
Tristan knows Halifax well, having lived there for 17 years and having served on the Selectboard for two of those. His public service is no surprise, given his strong participation in the Marlboro College community, which brought him to Windham County 25 years ago.
Like our family, he chose southern Vermont as a place to lay down roots, raise his son, and start a successful small business. Like us, he came to the Green Mountains, a place that honors Yankee ingenuity and maintaining the sustainability of the land we are lucky enough to live with.
As a sustainability professional, a father, and a small-business owner, Tristan is adept at balancing the needs of our economy, our land and water, our community life, and our personal privacy through insightful research, hard work, and commitment to excellence.
Having worked with Tristan, I can attest to his work ethic, best described in his words: “We may not see eye to eye, but we all are willing to work shoulder to shoulder when it counts.”
