Newcomer Ian Goodnow won his primary for the Vermont House of Representatives on Tuesday and will go on to run in the general election in November.

I have no doubt that Ian will make our voices heard while in Montpelier. Please join me on August 13 in voting for Ian Goodnow.

Ian is authentic, earnest, and always eager to listen to his constituents, even when they disagree with his decisions. He acts with both confidence and humility. He is in equal measure a leader and a team player.

I’ve come to know Ian well over the last two months. I think he’ll do great things for us, our town, and our state. I hope you’ll join me on Aug. 13 and place your vote for Ian Goodnow.

Ian is a remarkable person. He is kind and wise and relentlessly curious – all qualities that will allow him to shine in the State House.

We know Ian to be a careful listener and a collaborative problem solver who has demonstrated both his commitment to Brattleboro and his leadership abilities on the Selectboard, during a global pandemic and with three town managers.

“During my time on the Brattleboro Selectboard, I saw immense strength and flexibility in the people of Brattleboro. But I also saw the many challenges faced daily by our town and became intimately aware of the limitations of our municipal government to solve them.”

“Ian is serious, thoughtful, energetic, and hard-working. He cares deeply about all facets of our community.”

“Having served with Ian on the Brattleboro Select Board I can tell you that his approach to governing is sensible, realistic, and practical. Did I mention he has a true passion for this work! He truly enjoys creating policy that makes things better.”

“I have known Ian for the past three years and have been incredibly impressed with his facilitation as the chair of the Brattleboro Select Board, his deep listening skills and his commitment to making our community work for us all.”
