PUTNEY-While I am not a resident of the Windham-7 district, I had the pleasure of working with Rep. Emilie Kornheiser for the years that our paths crossed - she in the House, I in the Senate. We didn't always agree, but we listened with respect to each other.
Emilie has many great qualities. She is one of the smartest people I know - she really understands the economics of the state, she knows how the pieces fit together and how policies affect those she represents and the rest of Vermonters.
She has earned the respect of her colleagues and was made chair of the Ways and Means Committee. She served as a member of the Joint Public Pension Oversight Committee and the Joint Fiscal Committee because of that knowledge and understanding.
She is committed to working for those in her district and the rest of Vermont who have the least voice - those experiencing poverty and the shrinking middle class.
Emilie Kornheiser is a great choice.
