BELLOWS FALLS-Republican, Democrat, independent: However you affiliate, I urge you to vote for Leslie Goldman, an experienced, capable representative of the people of Windham-3.
Going into her third term, Leslie understands the legislative process. She maintains relationships with her constituency and colleagues in the legislature. She is brave enough to evaluate her own positions in the context of other people's opinions.
I ask you to vote for a woman with the courage to change her position or to stick to it, depending on how she knows her actions in the Legislature will affect your well-being.
Leslie stands for a medical care system that improves outcomes and reduces costs. She works for equitable funding to ensure high-quality public schools for your children and grandchildren, for the children of all Vermonters whose families are building our shared future. She knows that we need safe, affordable housing that is warm in winter, cool in summer, and dry when too much rain falls.
Please vote for Leslie Goldman, a person of integrity who believes that democracy promotes social well-being for all.
Vote, too, for the legislative team she is part of: Leslie Goldman, Michelle Bos-Lun, Wendy Harrison, and Nader Hashim. Each speaks on our behalf. Together they listen to us, keep us informed, and bring us the benefits of representative democracy.
