In 2007, my husband and I had the opportunity to purchase the Shelburne Country Store. This venture allowed us not only to contribute to the local economy but also to strengthen community ties. In 2015, we expanded our commitment by acquiring The Country Christmas Loft, focusing on creating a nurturing and welcoming space for families and visitors alike. We pride ourselves on placing family and community values first in everything we do.
My experiences have instilled in me a strong desire to represent our community in Montpelier. I understand the everyday challenges that families and local businesses face, and I am committed to ensuring that their voices are heard in decision-making processes. I believe in the power of collaboration and community input to drive positive change. I am excited about the possibility of serving our community in this new capacity and working towards a brighter future for all of us.- Fiscal responsibility is key to ensuring a government’s longevity and efficiency. By prioritizing fiscal responsibility, budget proposals focus on sustainable spending, avoiding deficits, and reducing debt. This approach ensures that resources are allocated effectively, programs are funded adequately, and long-term financial health is maintained. Legislators must strive for balanced budgets that prevent future financial burdens on citizens, ensuring economic stability for both present and future generations.
- Taxing Social Security benefits can place a financial strain on seniors, many of whom are on fixed incomes. Removing state income tax on these benefits can enhance the financial security of older residents. This change can help seniors retain more of their earnings, allowing them to better afford living expenses and healthcare costs, thereby improving their quality of life. Additionally, it demonstrates a societal commitment to respecting and supporting the aging population. Military retirees have devoted significant parts of their lives to serving the country. Exempting their retirement pay from state income taxes is a measure of gratitude and support.
- Existing environmental and energy policies may sometimes impose financial burdens that outweigh their benefits, especially on low- and middle-income households. Advocating for the repeal and replacement of these measures involves a strategic review to identify policies that are not cost-effective or that disproportionately impact certain demographics. The replacement policies should retain the original intent of promoting sustainability but in a manner that is economically feasible. This may include introducing more gradual implementation timelines.
