Vote Hooker for Senate

Dear Editor,

As a farmer, teacher, and proud member of the Rutland County
community, I am voting for Senator Cheryl Hooker in the November election.

Hooker is a positive and proactive Senator, who cares about people, businesses, the environment, and the health and sustainability of our community. She has worked to improve
childcare, food security, and higher education and has supported legislation to increase the minimum wage and provide paid family leave. During the pandemic, Cheryl Hooker has not wavered in her belief that Vermonters can work together to make our state a resilient and safe place to live and thrive.

Please join me in voting for Cheryl Hooker for Senate!

Carol Tashie,
Wallingford
