I am a Vermont State Senator for the Chittenden Central District of Burlington, Winooski, Essex Junction City, Essex Town and a portion of Colchester.
I am currently in my second term and serve as Vice Chair of the Senate Health and Welfare Committee and also serve on the Senate Finance Committee.
During my first biennium in the VT legislature, I proposed cost containment measures to education funding. I was lead sponsor on bills that will improve literacy across the state, that enhance public safety in our libraries, that ensure libraries comply with anti-discrimination laws, and that protect our schools from the practice of book banning.
During my second term, I have worked with my colleagues to lower the cost of health care while improving accessibility. I am lead sponsor on bills that will allow for birth centers in Vermont, will provide Medicaid coverage for community-based doulas and will increase thresholds for certificates of need. Bills like these and like S.126 will help keep our largest insurer solvent, which is critical to the stability and funding of our healthcare system. Systemic change can not happen overnight, but the innovative and creative longterm solutions we are attempting in the legislature this session will bear fruit in lower costs, better outcomes and accessible care.
My primary goal is to represent the best interest of my constituents, and I am continuing to fight for affordability and equity in our education system, increased housing for all and an accessible healthcare system.
