Vote Clarkson, White, Major

Dear Editor,

There’s a reason you see lots of signs for Alison Clarkson, Becca White, and Joe Major now: They are the cream of the crop running for the Vermont State Senate, and Windsor County voters recognize these stellar candidates. These 3 share a deep understanding of our communities’ needs and have records as public servants showing they know how to get tough things done to help all Vermonters.  

As Senate Majority Leader, Clarkson has spearheaded impactful measures on quality education, public safety, economic justice, and affordable healthcare. Those same policies inform Becca White’s work in Montpelier and efforts to deal with climate resilience. And Joe Major’s leadership as Hartford’s Town Treasurer underscores his keen eye for vital policies within tight budgets. All 3 care deeply about you and your quality of life; their track record bares this out.

With our state’s many challenges, it makes sense to elect proven leaders with the experience and know-how to advocate for our community. Join me in voting for Alison Clarkson, Becca White, and Joe Major to the Vermont State Senate on Nov. 5. Thank you.

Bob Williamson, South Woodstock
