Issue Position: Vermont Families

Issue Position

A parent shouldn't have to choose between maintaining an income and caring for their newborn baby. Vermont recently proposed a publicly funded paid leave plan which was vetoed by Governor Scott and voted down by a single vote margin which included Bennington 2-1's Representative Bates. I am proud to say that if I were in Bates' place, Vermont would have paid family leave today. I also believe that to maintain healthy families, Vermont needs to maintain a parent's choice in childbirth. While Roe vs. Wade may be threatened by the Trump administration, I will stand to defend women's reproductive rights in the State of Vermont.
