Protesting is an important part of our democracy, which is why my office issued a guide to help Vermonters understand their rights while engaging in protest. If you want to participate in a protest but you’re unsure about what your rights are, this guide will be a helpful resource for you.

This morning, I joined Congresswoman Becca Balint, Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas, and State Senator Ruth Hardy in Middlebury for a Youth Town Hall to hear from young Vermonters about issues shaping their communities. Our democracy is stronger when the voices of all generations are heard.

September 11, 2001 forever changed our country and those that call it home. Today, we remember and honor the lives affected and lost, and the incredible ways our nation came together to support each other. May we never forget, and may we honor their bravery and resilience by carrying it forward.

BREAKING: We secured a court order blocking the Trump Administration's USPS rule that attempts to unnecessarily insert the Postal Service into Vermont’s mail-in voting process. The new rule is burdensome. It's unnecessary and it's unlawful. We will continue to fight it.

We secured a victory last week when a federal court struck a key provision of a Trump Administrative rule that sought to strip coverage for gender-affirming care under Health Connect plans. This decision is an important win for Vermont and for maintaining access to this critical form of health care.
