I have lived in the Chittenden 15 district with my wife, Marianne, since 2001. Together, we raised two daughters within the Burlington public school district who both then graduated from the University of Vermont. We have so many strong connections to our neighbors within the district and are truly privileged to live in such an amazing community. Similarly, I feel nothing but fortunate to have been served by the outstanding representatives who we have elected to become our voice in Montpelier. Upon honest reflection, I found myself a bit surprised to be considering Selene Colburn’s request that I run to fill the seat she is vacating. As I thought more, I realized that I am perhaps in a great place to do just that. I was moved and energized by those who led our recent unionizing efforts with UVM Staff United and came to understand the obligations of service I have been taking for granted. I have worked with the UVM Center for Student Conduct since 2008. In my current position, I’ve learned the tremendous value of bringing restorative practices into conflict resolution work. I understand the need for continuous critical reflection on how those of us who have always benefited from systems of power and privilege must repair the inherent harm within those systems. I look forward to serving you with these values in Montpelier.
  • I believe our workforce, our community, and our local economy are strengthened when we pay all workers a livable wage.
  • I believe in the value of teaching our children with an honest reckoning for the systemic racism and white supremacy upon which this nation was built.
  • I am a proud member of the recently formed UVM Staff United and believe that union membership strengthens our collective pride in our institutions.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Vermont

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.
