Thank you, Windsor District

Dear Editor,

Thank you to the Windsor District voters for electing us to represent you in the Vermont State Senate. We are honored to serve and appreciate your vote of confidence.

We are grateful to our many volunteers who helped make this victory possible. Thank you for hosting our lawn signs, writing letters to the editor, canvassing with us, and standing with our signs at the polls.  

Special thanks also to our forbearing spouses who supported us so fully.

We have heard the voters loud and clear, and we look forward to continuing to work across the aisle to address the challenges Vermonters face today: reducing property taxes, enabling more housing, building Vermont’s resiliency, and reducing climate change.  

This election is just the beginning.  We invite you to be in touch as we prepare for this 2025-26 Biennium. 

With deep gratitude,

Alison Clarkson, Joe Major and Becca White

What happens to campaign signs?

November 14, 2024
Dear Editor, We hope all campaign signs will disappear after Nov. 5. We also hope they will NOT end up in a landfill. Most, if not all, of the signs are plastic, which means they can’t be recycled. However, they can be reused or re-purposed. Think roofing or siding material, killing invasives in your garden,…

Trump’s tariffs: the joke is on us

November 14, 2024
Dear Editor, The first thing to understand about tariffs, that no voters were ever told on the campaign trail, is that the producers in the sending country (China, for instance) do not pay for the tariff. The U.S.-based companies that receive the goods (the U.S.) must pay the tariff. Why is this? First, a nation…
