The writer is a former Democratic member of the Vermont House of Representatives, representing Windsor 3-1 from 2011 to 2017, and served with Chase on the Chester Selectboard.
CHESTER-I am delighted to support Heather Chase, a person of integrity and compassion, in her re-election for state representative for the people of Athens, Chester, Grafton, and Windham.
Heather has served us well in Montpelier. As a nurse and a mother, she is a champion of the right of a woman to make her own health care decisions. In the face of increased school taxes, she has supported the homeowners in her district for tax relief, taking the issue all the way to Gov. Phil Scott. She voted to make child care more affordable, which increases the employment opportunities for working parents.
