Re-elect Becca White

Dear Editor,

I am excited to support Becca White in her bid for re-election as one of our Vermont State Senators.  

She has been dedicated to serving the people of Vermont for 10 years (four years on the Hartford Select Board, four years as a State Representative, and these last two years in the State Senate).  While serving in the house, she worked effectively on modernizing the transportation systems and was an active member of the Climate Solutions Caucus. She is now co-chair of the Climate Solutions Caucus in the senate, serves on the Senate Natural Resources & Energy Committee, and is the communications director for the Senate Democratic Caucus. 

I am proud to support someone so committed to our shared belief that everyone has a right to health care, affordable housing, childcare, public education and is so committed to protecting our environment. 

Becca White is following in the footsteps of her district-mate, Senator Alison Clarkson, in her commitment to being accessible to her constituents. She is always willing to have a conversation with her fellow Vermonters and hear about the issues that are most important to them to effectively represent our community in Montpelier. 

Please join me in voting for White, Clarkson, and their Democratic teammate Joe Major in the general election on or before Nov. 5!

Sue Schiller,

Norwich

Finding common ground amid uncertainty

Dear Editor,  As a resident of St. Johnsbury, I regularly hike up Observatory Knob. A half mile from my home, I get to walk through woods and meadows to a summit with panoramic views.

Vermont’s population growth: why it matters

January 22, 2025
Dear Editor, A thriving, prosperous state is a goal that all Vermonters can agree to. That goal is easier to achieve with a growing population. More people means a larger selection of workers for businesses, government, and non-profits. It means more people earning incomes, supporting local businesses, and paying taxes to support government programs—many of…
