I would like to take this opportunity to thank all in Leicester, Salisbury, Goshen, Ripton and Cornwall who supported me in the Addison District 2 House race. I am grateful to the people who trusted me with their vote, most notably those in my hometown of Leicester and neighboring town of Salisbury as well as those who contributed their time and financial resources to my campaign.

Though it is disappointing that we did not win, I am humbled by the outpouring of voters who engaged with me in meaningful dialogue and the desire to come together, often across party lines, to attain our common goal of restoring balance to the Vermont House.

I remain dedicated to making Vermont an affordable place to live, work and raise a family. Hopefully, my late-entry candidacy at least amplified the message that Addison-2 wants thoughtful, realistic and affordable solutions to today’s pressing issues.

Please continue to make your voices heard for meaningful change. Without you, none of this would have been possible.
