Childcare Access
Childcare isn’t a luxury—it’s essential infrastructure for working families and a functioning economy. Right now, too many families can’t find care they can afford, and too many providers are barely staying afloat. We need real investment in childcare so parents can work, businesses can hire, and kids can thrive from the very beginning.
Property Tax Reform
Vermont’s reliance on local property taxes to fund education is putting an unsustainable burden on homeowners—especially in rural communities. We need a more equitable, statewide approach that funds our schools without forcing people out of their homes. Supporting strong public education shouldn’t mean pricing people out of the communities they love.
Rural infrastructure
Reliable infrastructure is the foundation of modern life—and too many Vermonters are still without it. In many parts of our Georgia and Fairfax, basic cell service is inconsistent or nonexistent, creating real safety and economic challenges. We need serious, sustained investment in rural infrastructure so our communities aren’t left behind.
Business Development
Small businesses are the backbone of our local economy, but starting and sustaining one in Vermont can feel overwhelming. We need to make it easier to open, grow, and keep businesses here—through smarter regulation, better access to capital, and policies that reflect the realities of rural communities. When local businesses succeed, our whole region benefits.
Healthcare Costs
Healthcare in Vermont is simply too expensive—and too hard to access. Families are facing rising premiums, high deductibles, and long wait times for care. We need to focus on lowering costs, improving access, and supporting the healthcare workforce so people can get the care they need without financial strain.
Town Communications
People shouldn’t have to rely on scattered Facebook groups to know what’s happening in their own community. Right now, we lack clear, consistent communication between town leadership and residents. We need better systems for sharing information—so people can stay informed, engaged, and connected to local decision-making.
Criminal Justice
We need a criminal justice system that keeps communities safe while also being fair, effective, and focused on long-term outcomes. That means supporting law enforcement, addressing root causes of crime, and investing in solutions that reduce repeat offenses. Public safety and accountability go hand in hand.
