I am writing to ask the people of Addison County to vote for Senator Chris Bray and Senator Ruth Hardy in the Democratic Party primary on Aug. 13. Senators Bray and Hardy are dedicated leaders who work hard to represent the best interests of all of us.

As highly respected leaders in the Vermont Senate both of them have attained influence that enables them to achieve results, especially on issues of environment protection and education. I am proud to have them representing us and I am grateful for all that they do to serve the people of Addison County and Vermont.

It is my hope that Senators Bray and Hardy will continue to serve in the Vermont Senate for as long as they are willing and able. Let us all get out to vote for them in the primary on Aug. 13 and the general election on Nov. 5.
