Thank you for your support

Dear Editor,

I want to thank all who took the time to vote either via an absentee ballot or in-person on Aug. 11. It was a record turnout for an August primary in Vermont. Something we can all take pride in. Hats off to our town clerks and their election teams for the job they did preparing for this year’s primary with social distancing measures in place.

I especially want to thank the voters in Bridgewater, Chittenden, Killington and Mendon for your support by voting for me on both the Republican and Democratic primary ballots.

These are unusual times. As the legislature gets ready to return next week, I will continue to do my best to represent the district as a whole in addition to resuming regular updates on legislative action.

It is an honor to serve as the state representative for the district towns. I appreciate your vote of confidence in the primary and hope to earn it again in November.

Jim Harrison, North Chittenden, State Representative, Rutland-Windsor 1 District
