By Nov. 8, we in Bennington-4 district have to resolve who’re the perfect candidates to characterize us. I do know our incumbent representatives James and Bongartz nicely, partly as a result of they’ve made themselves accessible to their constituents with Saturday morning conferences, public gatherings, on-line conversations and common newsletters.
As founding father of the native group Earth Issues, I’ve advocated for a lot of environmental points, together with local weather justice, and from that perspective alone, Kathleen James has my help. She had a distinguished voice on the Local weather Options Caucus as co vice-chair and has fought within the Legislature for the World Warming Options Act – overcoming Gov. Phil Scott’s veto – and the newer Local weather Motion Plan. I agree that Vermont ought to lead the nation in constructing a “inexperienced” financial system whereas tackling local weather change.
Kath and Seth additionally help three points near my coronary heart: a complete public training for all kids supported by statewide entry to broadband, livable wages for all Vermonters, and reasonably priced housing. Should you agree that we’d like hardworking, trustworthy, energetic representatives who will proceed to do good work on our behalf, then make your voice heard and please vote for Kathleen James and Seth Bongartz.
