Priority Issues:

Overhaul Vermont's criminal-justice system, especially by continuing to progress in treating addiction and mental illness as health issues instead of incarcerating (saving millions); stop shipping Vermont prisoners to other states; close the spigot on Vermont's funding the corrupt private-prison industry.

Create jobs and economic growth while keeping Vermont "green."

Ensure that Vermonters receive: a livable wage; paid family leave; equal pay for equal work regardless of gender.

Protect the environment; promote renewable energy; reverse climate change to save our region, our Green Mountain State and our planet.

Instill openness and transparency through all branches of state government; establish an ethics panel to oversee the Legislature and ensure that it represents the will of the people rather than special interests.

Promote greater opportunity for Vermonters to attain higher education without massive debt; tilt the scales from Vermont spending more on Corrections than it does on its colleges and universities;

End the government's second failed try at Prohibition through sensible, "Vermont-style" legalization of marijuana.
