Thanks to voters: Leslie Goldman

ROCKINGHAM-I wish to thank the constituents of Windham-3 for re-electing me for another two years to the Vermont House of Representatives.

Campaigning every two years is grueling but very worthwhile. I had so many meaningful conversations with voters as I went door to door. We had forums at the Rockingham Free Public Library, at Rockingham Roasters, and at the Flat Iron Cooperative. Supporters held potluck events where I could talk with constituents at length and answer their questions.

I am grateful for the many volunteers who offered to accompany me while meeting constituents at their doors, and I am grateful for those who took the time to support me by writing incredible letters to the editors. I am grateful to those who were willing to have a yard sign and grateful to those who helped with the design and mailing of postcards.

It requires the generosity of so many people to run a campaign in our district, and I cannot thank everyone enough who participated in making my re-election happen.

I look forward to returning to Montpelier and representing Windham-3. There are many issues to take on, but I believe the three most critical are health care, education, and housing. The challenge will be how to make the necessary changes we need to make, but the message is clear that we need to make sure that Vermont feels affordable for Vermonters.

Please contact me with your questions, concerns, and thoughts by going to my website or by email.

Again, I am so grateful for the community support. We will need to be listening very carefully to each other as we tackle the issues facing us.
