On Tuesday, the voters of Addison County, Buels Gore, and Huntington voted to elect me as their newest state senator. I am honored to be the top-vote-getter in a heavily contested, two-seat race. I am thrilled that months of hard work paid off and I look forward to serving the people of Vermont well.

Thank you to the hundreds of people in the district, and around Vermont and the country who supported my campaign in big and small ways. You donated time, money, expertise, and endorsements to help me win. It was an incredible team effort.

Please know that all of the notes, messages, and words of encouragement were extremely important to me. Running for office is hard work. It’s not easy to put yourself out there every single day. Thank you for helping me stay on track, hydrated and fed, positive and energetic.

I am fortunate to be among so many incredibly dedicated women in Vermont and around the country who step up, run for office, and support other women too. I am grateful to my fantastic team who helped me plan and execute an effective and thoughtful campaign from start to finish.

Finally, I have a truly amazing family who has been with me 100% every step of the way. There is absolutely no way I could have done this without them.

Together we can do anything. Thank you.

With gratitude and joy,

Commitments

I am asking for your support, your vote, and your trust. This is no small request, and I want you to know that I will work hard to earn all three. I did this as a school board member, and I will do the same as a state senator.
