Thanks to voters: Emilie Kornheiser
BRATTLEBORO-This work requires courage. Thank you for re-electing me as your state representative. This work is only possible when we all show up - not only to vote yes, but also to stick around after the election. For the past six years, I've been honored to represent the incredible...
Candidate thanks to voters: Emilie Kornheiser
BRATTLEBORO-Since my first primary seven years ago, Windham County was known for some sleepy election cycles. But in this election, voters had the choice of another strong candidate. Someone with a trusted family name and a strong work ethic. Putting your name on the ballot and your face in...

Funding our schools
Emilie Kornheiser, state representative for Windham-7, is chair of House Ways and Means, is a parent, and lives on a dirt road in West Brattleboro. You can find her at emiliekornheiser.org. BRATTLEBORO-I've been talking with folks about property taxes a lot lately. We've also been talking about our schools, our kids, our strong and struggling communities, and the future. We are in a difficult moment - a moment with no perfect path forward. I want Vermont, and Brattleboro, to work...

‘I’m committed to this promise of good government and our collective project of deliberative democracy’
Thank you for the incredible community support and the opportunity to serve our corner of Brattleboro for another two years. These last few years have changed us, and it is up to us to let those changes be towards progress. The pandemic taught us the power of effective government, the power of saying no, the power of sending resources directly to the people who need it. I'm committed to remembering these lessons as we enter the next biennium. Freedom is...
Pandemic shows our vulnerabilities
Monday, May 17, was Tax Day. I know the topic of taxes can spark strong reactions in Vermonters, yet taxes pay for things we like and share such as libraries, schools, roads, and trash collection, and they are a valuable tool for closing the wealth gap. Taxes are part of how we each contribute to a Vermont that meets our needs. This incredibly difficult year has delivered significant challenges for our health, parenting, increased isolation and fear, job loss, and...
Kornheiser thanks Windham-2-1 voters
The results are in! Thank you. I am so honored to have the opportunity to keep working with this community and in this nation, so we can someday say that government is truly for us and by us. In Brattleboro (and across the country), we saw record voter turnout for this crucial election. This is in part due to our passion and our fear - we have a renewed understanding of how much our vote and our voice matter. But...
