I encourage my Addison County neighbors to vote for our senior State Senator, Chris Bray, in the August 13 primary election.

Chris serves as Chair of the Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee as well as on the Finance Committee and the Joint Carbon Reduction Committee. Over time he has been on numerous study groups and committees working on agricultural practices and environmental issues. Chris is one of the most hard-working legislators I know. He studies the issues that come before him seriously and deeply, and he is among Vermont’s most productive legislators. He was a lead sponsor of Vermont’s Farm to Plate program, and he has sponsored several bills on environmental issues, protection from dangerous chemicals, broadband development, renewable energy development, and many other subjects.

We need Chris’s proven track record of leadership, experience, and dedication in the Vermont Senate. Please join me and vote to re-elect Chris Bray in the primary election on August 13.
