It was great to be in Brattleboro today to celebrate the new Amtrak station. Like any transportation project, this station is the result of all of us, Amtrak (and in particular, Bill Hollister, who’s retired now but has been instrumental in all we’ve accomplished with Amtrak over

Since coming into office, I've believed our vehicle inspection manual has needed an overhaul. My Administration has already eliminated hundreds of unneeded pages. Although the DMV already has the authority to make changes and legislation was not necessary, I signed S.326 into law

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads across Vermont! Even after all this time, I continue to be inspired by the strength and resilience my dad showed us.

Today I signed S.325 which repeals the harmful Road Rule and Tier 3 provisions the legislative supermajority enacted in 2024 over my objection. While I appreciate their willingness to reverse course, if they had just engaged with us, the minority, and rural Vermonters, we

In January, I was clear about my expectations for the session: to follow through on what Vermonters sent us here to do and fix what’s broken or not working well. We did make some progress this session, and I don't believe any of it would have happened without more balance in the

Since our nation’s earliest days, Vermonters have fought and died to protect the freedoms we enjoy today. Time and time again, Vermonters have shouldered more than our share in the fight for freedom, and it is our duty to honor those who left and never came home. Theirs is the

With an expensive system and declining student outcomes, my team put forward a plan to address the challenges our education system is facing. Yet, the legislature may be poised to defund the Agency of Education’s literacy initiative, while doing nothing to save our education

I wouldn’t be the person I am today without my loving, caring and hardworking mom (who celebrated her 90th birthday last month!). Wishing her, my wife Diana, my daughter Rachael, and all the moms across Vermont a very happy Mother’s Day!

It was great to be in Morrisville last night honoring Kathy Demars as this year’s Lamoille County Good Scout Recipient. Kathy is someone who has spent decades serving her community and setting an example for all of us to follow. It’s events like these that remind us that as

Two years ago, I vetoed what became Act 181 because I knew it would have devastating consequences for rural Vermont. Montpelier should be focusing on how to give Vermonters a leg up, not making it harder and more expensive for rural communities to grow and thrive. Yesterday,

57 years ago, there were no wild turkey left in Vermont, until a small flock of 17 was released by the Department of Fish and Wildlife in Pawlet. Today, there are about 50,000 across the state. It was a privilege to join Rep. Chris Pritchard and over 200 others in West Pawlet

My budget proposed much needed property tax relief because Vermonters have been clear, they’ve had enough. They know we’re already one of the highest taxed states in the nation and many simply cannot afford to pay any more. But apparently, the majority of House members have
