I love Vermont.
I'm excited to be running for Lieutenant Governor of Vermont. My journey to this candidacy has been marked by a deep commitment to public service and a passion for fostering inclusive and vibrant communities.
​
Growing up, I spent all of my vacations in Vermont. Each and everytime I visited, I knew when the time came, I would make it my permanent home. When I graduated high school I made that a reality and moved to Vermont to attend the University of Vermont. I have a deep pride in calling Vermont home and I couldn't think of anywhere else to live .
​
My commitment to community service is a driving force in my life. I started serving Vermonters early in my career by working for Senator Patrick Leahy. Later in life I began my personal public service on Winooski’s Safe, Healthy, and Connected People Commission. Following that experience, and encouraged by former Rep. Hal Colston, I ran for City Council and was elected. I am currently in my second term and also serving as Deputy Mayor. As a city councilor I have been focused on affordability, housing, community safety, and equity - making progress in each of those areas. I also bring with me a strong belief that Vermont's diversity is one of its greatest strengths, and I am committed to fostering an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and heard.
​
Increasing BIPOC representation in government and creating opportunities for all residents to engage with and influence our state's future are central to my vision.
​
As Lieutenant Governor, I will work earnestly and collaboratively with Vermonters, legislators, and the Governor to address our shared challenges: an affordability crisis, a housing emergency, and the growing impacts of climate change.
​
Living in Vermont has taught me the importance of community, resilience, and mutual support. I cherish our way of life and the strong connections I've built with my neighbors. Over the course of this campaign, I hope to earn the support of Vermonters across the state, and in that spirit, I hope you reach out with any questions, issues, or concerns. Thank you, and I look forward to serving Vermont as your next Lieutenant Governor.
