Campaign website
Mutino’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Issues My platform focuses on three issues: 1. Affordable housing for all 2. Robust mental health care for all 3. Freedom from poverty I deeply value belonging and community. I am running to champion for Vermonters living on a fixed income and for youth who do not yet have the right to vote. I am committed to addressing the root causes of poverty and loneliness so no one goes hungry, remains isolated nor is unhoused. I am youth leadership and older adult leadership focused. I thank small business owners and working adults for their daily contributions to our brave little state, and to supporting the youngest and oldest in our communities. I will support policies that support people, not special interests and the most wealthy. View my clinical therapist profile here for a deeper look at my values.[3] |
