SAXTONS RIVER-Leslie Goldman has for many years served the people of Rockingham and Windham County. During her career as a nurse practitioner, she was also a school board member and a Rockingham Selectboard member. Now she's running for her third two-year term for the Vermont House of Representatives, where she's a candidate to represent Windham-3.
Her focus has alway been serving the needs of the people and solving problems. I really appreciate her continued outreach to the community with reports throughout the legislative session published in the local press.
Her frequent events, "Legislators at the Library," bring people from every perspective to the room to discuss current legislation. Here, she is respectful, and I have witnessed her ability to listen closely to her constituents concerns and get down into the details of an issue, be it health care, housing, wildlife management, or taxes.
It's crucial to re-elect a representative who has shown up, is hard working, and is responsive to all the communities here, including young and old Vermonters, property owners, and renters.
