Expand all | Collapse all

Brice Simon supports aggressive economic stimulus to combat the negative effects of COVID-19, universal healthcare, a livable wage, paid family leave as part of a more comprehensive unemployment insurance and assistance program, a legal marijuana market that promotes small-scale craft producers and supports family farms, and environmental policy that actually improves or pragmatically preserves critical environmental functions and values while not overburdening business and development.
  • I stand for the People of special interests and corporations.
  • I will promote conservation and green economic development.
  • I will promote criminal justice reform and racial equality.
Practicing law in Vermont for the past 20 years, I have seen poorly drafted statutes result in unintended negative consequences. Regular citizens end up suffering when special interests and sensational news events monopolize the political process. The saying "bad facts make bad law" describes the phenomenon I have seen repeated many times: an emotional story emerges that inflames political passions and results in the speedy passage of a law intended to right the perceived wrong. Often, such legislation not only fails to solve the problem it purports to address but actually does more harm than good. I differ from the other candidates in my ability to discern the most appropriate policies to promote, and to ensure that legislation is drafted to better accomplish the intended public policy goals without causing unintended harm.
Gandhi. I would like to follow his example of promoting massive social change through non-violent action and fasting.
Defend and implement the Constitutions of the United States and Vermont.
Picking strawberries in North Montpelier, Vermont. I picked strawberries for 3 years.
Siddartha, because it shows the truth about life.
The House of Representatives ("the Peoples' House") is more diverse and provides a greater range of perspectives. The Senate is a less representative chamber.
Generating sufficient economic activity to support the infrastructure we need.
