In 2017, she was appointed to the Vermont Commission on Women, working alongside 15 commissioners to advise the Legislature on issues affecting women and children, including paid family leave, raising the minimum wage, equal pay for women, supporting women-owned businesses, and increased subsidy of Vermont’s child care system. In 2020, Redmond was named Vermont Mother of the Year by American Mothers, Inc.
Redmond is a writer-journalist by background. Her career has focused on service to others, improving peoples' daily lives, advocating for human dignity, and working for the common good. Specifically, she has endeavored to use public communications to amplify the voices of women and girls, refugees and New Americans, while working with and for various nonprofit organizations, including Vermont Works for Women, Change the Story VT, Dismas of Vermont, and Vermont Story Lab.
She co-founded writing inside VT, a “writing-for-self-change” program for the state’s incarcerated women. A book of the women’s poetry and prose entitled, Hear Me, See Me, was published in 2013.- LIVEABLE-WAGE JOB CREATION: I believe in a Vermont economy that provides livable-wage employment for all working adults. Jobs, that allow people to support themselves and their families. Creative work, that adds value to Vermonters’ lives. A robust economy, that allows entrepreneurs to innovate new businesses and pay employees fairly. Wages, that enable Vermonters to send their children to college and/or prepare for a secure retirement.
- AFFORDABLE HOUSING & HEALTHCARE: The costs of healthcare and housing have far outpaced wages. Especially for low-income families. A worker in Vermont must earn $22.70/hour to afford a two-bedroom house; a person making minimum wage needs to work 1.7 jobs to rent a one-bedroom apartment. Skyrocketing health insurance is causing folks to drop coverage. These basic human rights must be accessible to all Vermonters, not just the well-to-do.
- HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT: Vermont is one of the cleanest, most environmentally pristine states in our nation. But it is under threat from pollution to our streams and lakes, and from climate change. Reducing dependency on fossil fuels and generating clean, renewable energy sources can boost our local economy. We must create a long-term plan because our drinking water, tourist industry, property values, and quality of life depend on it.
Affordable housing & health care
Racial and social equity
Economic access & opportunity for BIPOC Vermonters

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
