Hello,

I’d like to take a moment to talk about what I’ve noticed in Peter over the years, and why he’s exactly the type of public servant we need at this moment. But first, let me tell you a little bit about myself.

I’m a third-generation Vermonter, but I didn’t grow up here because my family lived overseas while my father served our country as a career Foreign Service officer. I grew up in Malaysia, the Netherlands, India, Peru, and Nicaragua, where I always attended neighborhood schools in the local language. After working as a journalist in Washington, I moved to Vermont to be near family and got involved in local community issues here—as a school board member, school board chair, and then state legislator.

Peter and I first met through public service. I was on the interstate school board at the time, and he was in the Vermont Senate, and a colleague and I had a hard question about school funding that we wanted to talk to him about. I could tell right away that he was a great listener, and that he would put his head down to work with others to solve problems.

Peter and I have been married almost 14 years now. We never tire of talking (especially about solving the climate crisis), and I’ve watched him fight for Vermonters from the Statehouse to the U.S. House.

Now, Peter is running to be Vermont’s next senator. We need to show the broad support he’s building from the grassroots level. So I’m asking: will you add your name to say you officially support Peter?

JOIN OUR TEAM

Peter’s running for Senate because our democracy is under threat, and because he knows we need All Hands On Deck to deliver progress.

From his days fighting housing discrimination in Chicago to his time as Vermont’s congressman, he’s worked consistently to advance social, racial, and economic justice—to address inequality and remove barriers to opportunity.

That’s why he’s committed to raising wages, lowering costs like housing and prescription drugs, getting the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes, solving the climate crisis with its disproportionate harms on low-income Americans and people of color, and putting Washington on the side of families.

Peter’s ready to hit the ground running on Day One as a U.S. senator—and he’ll deliver results the Vermont way, by focusing on solutions and listening more than he talks. But we need your support to elect him. If you believe in his vision for Vermont and our country, add your name right away to say you’re on this team.

Thanks,

Margaret
