| Collapse all
I have testified against unjust bills in the House, published rebuttals to false narratives and incorrect facts used against the rights of Vermonters by out-of-state activists and educated thousands of Vermonters as to their rights and responsibilities. Our state has poor performing schools, a 13% poverty rate and a 45% crime recidivism rate. But, it isn't Vermont that's broken, it's our government.
I pledge to help fix what's broken.- I pledge to seek the TRUTH on all issues presented, not to simply take the word of someone else.
- I will NEVER vote in favor of ANYTHING that is unconstitutional, or diminishes the rights of Vermonters.
- I am open to discuss any issues my constituents put before me and will research and advise to my best ability.
2. Vermont has a poor system for voter protections and a huge opportunity for voter fraud. I pledge to tackle this issue head-on.
3. I will oppose the use of false narratives, lies, and "doctored" statistics in committee testimony. In hearing after hearing in Montpelier, local and outside activists use "reports" and "studies" from biased sources that are used to negatively impact the rights of Vermonters. I have personally debunked many of those reports over the last 5 years. I will continue to do so.
4. Education is one of our largest failures in Vermont. From the destruction of the "one-room schoolhouse" with its multi-age classroom, to the consolidation of schools into larger districts, Vermont leadership has failed our children.
To UPHOLD the Constitution of Vermont and protect the citizens from unconstitutional bills.
I will NOT stand to be lied to as a member of any committee.
I have an affinity for old books for their historical information, political books for their insight, educational books for their changing methodologies, railroading books for a glimpse at bygone eras, science fiction and fantasy for pure escapism, and anything with a gilded binding for pure aesthetics.
Our legislators will actually get up and leave the room while a person with a differing opinion begins to speak. The legislators without previous connections or already paid-off by lobbyists will sit and listen.
