Opinion: Amanda Janoo is the most qualified candidate to be our governor

Rising property taxes, a collapsing health care system, an unaffordable housing market, skyrocketing grocery and energy costs — these are concerns Vermonters would like to see elected officials address.

These are economic issues. The candidate for governor best qualified to work on solving these problems is Amanda Janoo. Rooted in small-town Vermont, Amanda Janoo is a trained economist who has worked in Vermont and around the world to help governments build resilient and diversified economies to generate good jobs and broad-based prosperity.

Her platform includes:

  • Free primary healthcare for Vermonters
  • Curbing corporate real estate speculation and investing in permanently affordable housing
  • Reforming Vermont’s tax system so it is fairer and more affordable for working families

And more.
