GUILFORD — I encourage the voters of Windham-Bennington-1 to return John Moran to the Statehouse on Nov. 8.
Over the past few weeks and months, I have had the chance to speak with Moran on several occasions. One of the things I am most impressed with is his dedication to improving the lot of working people in Vermont. In particular, he supports a livable wage for those who struggle at the lower end of the pay scale in our service economy: the ski-lift operators, the hospitality workers, the retail employees, the home health aides. He knows that when workers can enjoy a decent level of economic security, our communities prosper.
John Moran has been endorsed by Rights & Democracy, an organization formed to fight in Vermont for the issues that fueled Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign. That endorsement means that he believes in protecting our environment, taking action to address climate change, to make sure we have financial security for senior citizens, and to fight for racial and gender justice in all our policies.
Elect John Moran, and he will once again be a fighter for the progressive values that define us as Vermonters.
