Dear Editor,
I am writing in support of the Democratic ticket for the Windsor County Senate district: Sen. Alison Clarkson, Sen. Becca White, and Joe Major. Clarkson and White are seeking re-election, while Major hopes to bring his extensive town governance, housing, and racial justice experience to Montpelier as a new senator for our district.
Over the summer on the campaign trail working for Lt. Governor David Zuckerman, I have gotten to know these three individuals, and am proud to call them my friends and allies. I have seen that Clarkson, White, and Major share records of dedicated leadership, with Clarkson guiding Democratic priorities through the Legislature as the Senate Majority Leader, White serving as co-chair of both the climate solutions caucus and future’s caucus, and Major overseeing impactful policy changes within tight budgets as the Hartford town treasurer. The three candidates share a deep understanding of what Vermont needs currently.
Our state Legislature will face numerous challenges in the next legislative cycle, from stabilizing our education funding system to ensuring that Vermont remains a viable place for young people to live and start families, and as a 17-year-old high school senior, I know that Clarkson, White, and Major will fight for my future and for all Vermonters. I am happy to endorse them to represent my home state senate district in Windsor County and I hope you consider voting for Clarkson, White, and Major on, or before, Nov. 5.
Hudson Ranney, Windsor, Senior at Windsor High
