Biographical Information

Tell us a little about yourself. Why do you want to be a meeting member? If you’re running for re-election, when were you first elected, and what motivated you to run?

One of the most critical responsibilities of Town Meeting is to approve the town budget. What are your priorities for the Town budget? How would your knowledge of how money is approved and spent, guide you in your decisions on the floor?

For a number of years, Brattleboro has been the only town in Vermont with a representative town meeting government. As the Charter Commission is working on an update to the town charter, would you support a return for Brattleboro to a town meeting that would allow direct participation by any voter? Would you support voting all items by Australian Ballot?

How would you best represent your district or town as a whole as a Representative Town Meeting Member?

INTRO TO THE REMAINING QUESTIONS. The Australian ballot for Annual Town Meeting (for all voters) includes a communication/resolution article, as well as a number of non-binding questions to survey voters about a wide range of town issues. How would you vote on these questions? What might that tell voters about how you would approach some of these same issues on the floor of Representative Town Meeting this year and into your three-year term? If you prefer not to reveal your vote, please comment generally about the issues they raise. (No response is needed to this preamble to the remaining questions.}

ARTICLE II: Shall the voters of the Town of Brattleboro adopt the following pledge and instruct the Town Clerk to convey this pledge to the Selectboard, State Legislature, Governor, and Lieutenant Governor, and the United States Congressional Delegation? WE AFFIRM our commitment to freedom, justice, and equality for the Palestinian people and all people; and WE OPPOSE all forms of racism, bigotry, discrimination, and oppression; and WE DECLARE ourselves an apartheid-free community, and to that end, WE PLEDGE to join others in working to end all support to Israel's apartheid regime, settle colonialism, and military occupation.
