Highlights of work on local issues
One of the most rewarding aspects of being a Senator for Chittenden County is being able to help and respond to constituent requests. I’m pleased to have worked closely with many individuals and municipalities to help successfully resolve diverse problems. I understand how overwhelming “the system” can be, and how much common sense can bring to many situations.
