State Representative | Milton-Georgia

Delivering Results. Fighting for Affordability. Fixing What Isn’t Working.

Serving on the House Commerce & Economic Development Committee, working to lower the cost of living, expand workforce opportunities, and cut through red tape that’s holding Vermont back.

Turning policy into real results for Vermont

  • Invested in local infrastructure and housing through the Community Housing Infrastructure Program (CHIP), helping communities build the roads, water, and sewer systems needed to support new housing

  • Expanded workforce pathways by strengthening Career & Technical Education (CTE) and apprenticeship programs—creating real alternatives to a four-year college

  • Opened doors to international trade by advancing sister-state partnerships that help Vermont businesses reach new markets

  • Protected consumers by cracking down on coerced debt and unfair financial practices

  • Brought fairness to everyday transactions through commonsense reforms like retail rounding and transparent event ticketing

  • Worked across party lines on economic development, workforce shortages, and lowering barriers to growth

I didn’t go to Montpelier to talk—I went to work on the issues that actually impact your wallet, your job, and your future.

What Comes Next

  • Lowering the Cost of Living - Vermont is becoming too expensive. Housing, energy, and taxes are squeezing working families. My focus is on real solutions—not adding more layers of cost.

  • Fixing Education Spending - We are spending more than ever, but outcomes aren’t improving. We need to reduce administrative overhead and refocus resources where they matter most—students and classrooms.

  • Housing & Permitting Reform - We cannot solve the housing crisis without fixing the permitting process. That means making smart updates to laws like Act 250 and Act 181 so we can build housing faster and more affordably.

  • Strengthening Vermont’s Workforce - From healthcare to skilled trades, Vermont needs more workers. I’m focused on expanding workforce pathways and removing barriers that keep people out of the workforce.
