What do you believe is the role of state government, if any, in ensuring that everyone living in Vermont has the food they need to thrive?
The state must do all it can to ensure that everyone has the food they need to thrive.
What would be your policy priorities to move Vermont toward food security for all?
Certainly continuing the Universal Schools Program. Engaging with the federal government to assure that SNAP moves forward. I need to learn more…
What do you believe are the root causes of hunger, and what should the state do to address those underlying factors?
I’ve come to understand that secure, affordable housing may be the root cause of most Vermont’s current social issues. I support policies that secure more housing starts across Vermont. I support exploring all workable solutions, even where compromise is required.
How would you help strengthen the state’s agriculture and food economy to ensure Vermont farms can continue to grow the food we all need?
I support policies that strengthen the security and vitality of Vermont’s farming sector.
