As a state rep, I believe it’s important to meet voters face-to-face. It’s the best way to ask questions, learn more about the issues, and understand how I’m voting and why.

The legislature meets in person at the State House in Montpelier every Tuesday through Friday during the five-month session, January through May. During the session, I hold regular coffee hours with my district-mate, Rep. Rob Hunter — typically twice a month — from 9 to 10:30 am on Saturday mornings throughout the district.

These informal get-togethers are open to all residents of the Bennington-4 district, which includes Arlington, Manchester, Sandgate and northwest Sunderland.
