Issue Position: The Pandemic and the Health of Our People

Issue Position

As we go through this crisis, I thank God every day that my wife Chris and I live in Vermont. Not just because we have a great environment and can spend time outside, but because, as it has so many times in the past, Vermont is setting an example for the rest of the country. Governor Scott has treated all of us with respect by telling the truth and basing decisions on sound science. He has relied on experts and as a result we have had far fewer Corona-related cases and far fewer deaths than we would otherwise have had. Just as we trusted him with his shelter-in-place orders, we can trust that the economy will be re-opened with a science-based approach designed to continue to keep us safe. It hasn't been easy, but we have done well. Although the costs have been great, we have placed the protection of people above all else. Vermonters have pulled together and, just like the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, we are experiencing Vermont at its best.
