Opinion: Molly Gray understands her constituents

 

Molly Gray will make an excellent Lieutenant Governor, and I am happy to endorse her for this important role.

I have known Molly for some time and supported her during her first term in office.

Molly has done this job before and done it well. As a farmer’s daughter in Newbury, Vt., she has grown up with a better understanding of the rural and farm community than most people. On top of this, she has added leadership and a broad understanding of areas such as childcare, as a mother herself, and health care, a burden to all of us. Molly has a strong foothold in both education and workforce development as well.

As an immigrant myself of over 50 years, I am impressed by Molly’s work with the Afghan community, our allies in a very difficult war who have been abandoned by the current administration but supported here in Vermont. In addition, the Vermont farm community would not be able to operate without the assistance of the migrant workforce, and Molly understands our need to support and help this community, because it helps all of us.

Molly Gray is the person we need in the Lt. Governor’s office.
