Vote for Jerome

Dear Editor,

The residents of Brandon, Pittsford and Sudbury are so very lucky to have Stephanie Jerome as our representative in Montpelier. Her hard-working ethic, integrity and genuine desire to help people makes her the perfect legislator. It is well-known that Jerome has the education, intelligence and experience to do the job. But what she also has is the compassion, the resourcefulness, and the drive to kick it up a notch.

It is her caring nature that makes Stephanie Jerome stand out in the field. Whenever I have contacted her with a question or concern about myself or a family member — about job resources, unemployment or health insurance coverage, Jerome has responded immediately with information and credible help, even if the person was not living in her district.

During the early confusing days of the pandemic, I saw her work 12+ hour days. If you can call it a reward for a job well done — Stephanie Jerome was appointed to lead the Legislative Action Team, a coalition of 25 legislators who volunteered to help constituents get through the Dept. of Labor system and receive unemployment benefits. That team helped more than 2,300 Vermonters, including a member of my family. The appointment of a freshman legislator to chair that group under widespread pressure and stress is pretty impressive. Jerome’s good work reaches far beyond our three towns’ borders and it knows no political aisles.

I’m proud to call Stephanie Jerome a friend, neighbor, and my Representative to Montpelier. She will have my vote in November.

Janet Mondlak,
Brandon
