Issue Position: Older Vermonters
Issue Position
Issues: Senior Citizens
Vermont is aging - currently one in five Vermonters is over the age of 60. With our robust Essex Senior Center and transportation system to help older Vermonters age in place, Essex Junction is an attractive place to live. But meeting basic needs, finding affordable and appropriate housing, and avoiding the effects of social isolation are ongoing issues older Vermonters face everyday. I supported the legislation creating the Older Vermonters Working Group and am a member of the Older Vermonters Caucus - created last term to educate legislators on issues effecting our older population. I will fight for programs that allow our older population to age in place while continuing to lead healthy productive lives.
