my parents own their own small business in PA. the BBB cuts to healthcare tax credits means their insurance costs go from $4,620/year to $27,810.60/year that's a 500% increase they cannot afford.

Thanks to everyone who joined us! And to Ken Martin for reminding us that real power comes from the grassroots — working families, rural communities, young people, and every voice too often left out. Together, we are fighting for a Vermont that works for working Vermonters.

Just returned from the State Party Leadership Summit, where I spent three days in strategy sessions on campaign planning, political organizing, donor engagement, and more. Grateful to collaborate with leaders from across the country and bring valuable insights home for Vermont Democrats!

Six months in, Trump’s agenda is failing working Vermonters.

The Trump admin demand for all SNAP recipients sensitive info is unprecedented in scope and alarmingly vague about how the info will be used. 20 states, including Kentucky, fought back and are challenging this in court. Not Vermont though.

VDP Executive Director May Hanlon released the following statement in response to Governor Phil Scott's statement defending his decision to provide the Trump administration with sensitive personal information of tens of thousands of Vermonters receiving nutrition assistance:

Always great to be at Democrats HQ — this week for a data training! Under Ken Martin’s leadership, the DNC is delivering for state parties with innovative tools & training opportunities to build long-term capacity across the country. Grateful to be part of this work!

Americans for Prosperity sent a misleading mailer across Vermont targeting our Democratic legislators. And… they actually misspelled their own website. The URL at the bottom reads “greetmountainprosperity.com”. They spent thousands on a misprint… I bought the domain for $12.19!

I’m focused on making sure Vermonters have the resources and information they need to participate in our elections. Protecting voting rights, empowering every voter, strengthening our democracy, and staying connected to our communities is year-round work — and I’m all in.

Building a stronger future for Vermont starts with supporting the small businesses, the farmers, and the hard-working families who anchor our rural communities. By putting Vermont whole milk in school cafeterias, we’re investing in our kids’ health and our economy.

We're entering a new chapter driven by young leaders, bold ideas, and a belief that real change comes from the ground up. Chair Francis & Executive Director Hanlon represent a new generation stepping up to lead, organize, and fight for a Vermont that works for everyone.

27 years old and every day I still wake up in disbelief that I get to live such a wonderful life. Grateful for the people, the moments, and the opportunities that shape me. Here’s to another year of joy, growth, and courage.
