VERNON-It's of the essence that our Windham-1 district has strong and steady leadership to address the most important concerns of Guilford and Vernon.
Despite the reputation Windham County has as a Democratic stronghold, the next legislative leader for Guilford and Vernon will be stepping into a complex political landscape. Challenges such as the taxes, affordable housing, energy, and gun control make the skills a candidate brings to the role of legislator more critical now than ever.
If elected as your representative to the Vermont Legislature, Zon Eastes would be committed to finding solutions to address our concerns. He will be a representative for all in our community.
As Selectboard chair, Zon has already proven that he can handle the pressure of a position in office. Always keeping an eye on accomplishing the goals and business of the Guilford community, Zon has skillfully guided his Selectboard, maintaining courteousness and order against an onslaught of persistent incivility and unfounded complaints.
This levelheadedness and ability to work toward sensible compromise promises to make Zon an excellent choice. His skills will also serve him well as a member of legislative committees. While other candidates may seek to divide, Zon Eastes builds bridges, bringing people together.
