| Collapse all
Jeannine offers her management and community service experience to serve her constituents. A graduate of Woodbury College (paralegal), she was a Derby Center Trustee and Water & Sewer Commissioner for 15 years. She has worked as an administrative assistant to businesses through permitting processes. She worked and volunteered in the schools where her 3 sons attended.
Jeannine has worked for decades as a volunteer in her community. She led the efforts to organize a local service chapter of what was then L'Union St. Jean Baptiste Insurance Company and still serves as its President. Since 2008, through their volunteer work, members have co-sponsored church, civic and educational fundraising activities that have brought in over $25,000 in additional funds to area organizations, without government subsidy.
She and her husband are avid gardeners, sharing surplus produce with many in the community.
Jeannine says she will always ask herself these questions before voting: Is it good for the people? Is it good for the State? How will this affect people and what might be the unintended consequences?
- Vermont needs strong determined leadership in 2020 to repair problems of overspending and over-regulation at the Vermont State House.
- We need an economy that works for our farmers so they can stay in business and for businesses so they can provide jobs for Vermonters.
- We need to protect our children in all stages of life.
