Thanks for finding your way to my website. I was honored to representative Essex Junction in the statehouse the last two years.  I hope you feel I kept you well informed about the legislative session through this website and social media.  But there is no comparison to actual conversation which is why I held monthly community conversations through the legislative session and have stayed active in the community. 

​I want to continue hearing from you.  I'll be going door to door this summer and fall to hear your thoughts and wishes on how to make Vermont a better place to live for all Vermonters.

Please reach out if you have a question or want to discuss an issue.

How will I keep you informed
To keep our residents up to date on all that is happening in Montpelier, I will be updating this website as often as possible. I will also alternate weekly updates on Front Porch Forum with Dylan Giambatista and all Essex/Westford representatives will be providing legislative updates via the Essex Reporter. Additionally, Dylan and I will be holding monthly community conversations on the third Monday of each month at 6:30 pm. The locations of these conversations will be listed on this website, Front Porch Forum, Facebook and the Essex Reporter.
