As Vermont’s Secretary of State and Chief Elections Officer, it’s my job to help sustain and defend democracy – the form of government in which we the people choose our leaders and decide issues by voting.

After watching the Brandon Candidates Forum, I am pleased to say that my previously positive impressions of Mr. Doug Bailey have only increased.

I read with disinterest the diatribe of Sharon Stearns in a recent letter [see The Reporter, 2/21/24] concerning the Brandon town budget, the Selectboard, the Town Manager, the Deputy Town […]

While Mr. Atherton did many good things for the town during his tenure as town manager, it is important that the voters understand the final months of his tenure before deciding whether they want him to become a Selectboard member.

In my letter to the editor of the Brandon Reporter on 2/16/24, I wrote about the amount of spending our selectboards and school boards are responsible for and the extra funds they have spent over the past year or so.
