Strong Local Economy

I have spent the past 20 years as a small business operator and owner. As a state we must focus resources to support and nurture our local economy. Downtown centers and Vermont's main street businesses are a large part of our identity and a major driver to the state's economy. I will work tirelessly on policies that will make it easier for employers to do business and work to empower our workforce. By fostering growth of local businesses and startups, we will build an economy that works for all Vermonters.
