Chris Brown announces candidacy for Vt House

Dear Editor,

I’m Chris Brown and I’m running to represent Castleton in the Vermont House of Representatives.

I’m proud and excited at the prospect of representing the citizens of my hometown in the Legislature. I’m a lifelong resident of Castleton and a 10 generation Vermonter. I feel my decades of business experience and my Republican values will serve all of us well as we face daunting challenges ahead statewide.

I consider myself to be practical and pragmatic and while my political philosophy’s are Republican, I’m more interested in results than labels. I ask for your support.

My wife, Andrea, and I have been married 36 years. Together we’ve raised two daughters and now have two son-in-law and two grandchildren.

Chris Brown, Castleton

The arc of agingand leadership

July 24, 2024
By Bill Schubart Like a good novel, our lives have a narrative arc, during which we are actively participating in and relevant to our world. We are born, rise slowly into sensual consciousness and gradually process what we see and feel. Our juvenile perceptions gradually become knowledge, and, if all goes well, that knowledge binds…
