Vermonters owe Vermont State Senator Chris Bray a debt of gratitude for his 16 years of service in the Vermont Legislature.

Chris is one of the hardest working, most productive legislators in Vermont. With a legislative theme of working for “good jobs in a healthy Vermont,” Chris has had a direct role in passing over 130 bills aimed at improving water quality, reducing toxic substances, better managing waste, supporting affordable housing, encouraging sustainable farming and food manufacturing, developing statewide broadband, and advancing renewable energy. Chris, for several years the chair of the Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee, was the lead sponsor of the Farm to Plate program, Vermont’s Renewable Energy Standard, the Vermont Clean Water Act, and more.

Chris did his research, held inclusive committee hearings, and worked to achieve the state’s ambitious climate goals in an affordable manner. His departure from the Vermont Legislature is a loss, not just to Addison County residents but to the State as a whole.
