ROCKINGHAM-There are a number of reasons I support both Michelle Bos-Lun and Leslie Goldman, our two incumbent representatives.
I appreciate how they communicate through newsletters and regular public meetings, and I am grateful that they seek our input and opinions, while at the same time they show strong leadership and initiative.
I see their diverse and varied backgrounds and life experiences (education, social work, youth services, international experience, and health care, including mental health and drug abuse prevention) as valuable in helping to inform the decisions they make as legislators.
The future costs of climate change will be staggering as Vermont copes with increasing floods and other disasters such as landslides and wildfires, changing agricultural conditions, and societal chaos.
Michelle and Leslie understand that legislation such as the Climate Superfund Act and the Affordable Heat Act can make a positive difference in our climate while actually being financially beneficial for us everyday Vermonters.
They are both committed to creating legislation that serves all of us, improving our lives, and making Vermont affordable for all of us.
