Eastes: a friend's perspective

MARLBORO-For all who reside in Vernon and Guilford, I urge you to vote for Zon Eastes to represent you in the Vermont House.

Many have reported on Zon's civic experience, skills, and accomplishments. I am sharing my observations as a friend and professional colleague since he first came to teach in Vermont over 40 years ago.

Zon is a dear and dependable friend. I can always count on him for good advice and his broader perspective on ways to meet the challenges of the day. He shares his views openly and without reservation, enabling me to find better ways to resolve personal and professional issues.

Zon's warm personality and drive to solve problems by bringing people together will get things done in Montpelier for everyone in his district as well as their neighbors statewide.
