- We need to fix Vermont's healthcare system.
- We need to rebuild Vermont's economy so it works for everyone.
- We need to protect democracy.
I see a direct analogy here to how politics works. We go into public service because we are idealistic and we want to make change, but we need to be realistic about what change is possible. We don't have infinite time and money, and perfection isn't an option, so we always need to seek the good.
I remember being so excited when the Vermont minimum wage went up to $3.10, because that meant I got a raise. Can't imagine living on minimum wage now.
Not only because my fiancée wrote it :-) but because I'm an adoptee. Its themes of growing up without knowing one of your birth parents were very familiar to me.
Energy and Technology: as a remote worker, I understand the urgency in making sure everyone in Vermont has access to high-quality broadband.
Government Operations: as someone who is entering politics as a candidate because of concerns about the state of our democracy, I look forward to doing everything I can to make government work.
