I strongly support Emilie Kornheiser's candidacy and election to the office of state representative. I had the pleasure of serving with Emilie on the Brattleboro Food Co-op's board of directors and found her to be a clear and thoughtful thinker, very good listener, and team player, able to help build consensus and direction. I appreciate her leadership style, and believe that she'll be a great representative at the state level.
