I am Brenda Steady and I want to announce that I have decided to run for a seat in the Legislature. I am in District 25 which comprises of Westford and East Milton. My campaign is rooted in making Vermont more affordable for current residents and attracting people to move to Vermont.
I am a long time Justice of the Peace and enjoy performing weddings for people of all walks of life. I am serving my sixth year as a Selectboard member and served 9 years on Milton's school board. As a former school board member, I understand the issues related to Vermont's education funding system. The system seems broken and I recognize it. I will support Governor Scott's leadership for education funding reform and general budgetary restraint. I also share the governor's concerns over the coming carbon tax, as this will hurt working people more with fuel taxes.Vermonters are experiencing a monumental increase in education tax, I believe this is hurting property owners and renters alike. These increases are impacting our families and our seniors which is causing many people leaving or thinking of leaving our state. I will vote fiscally responsible in hopes to protect our citizens.
As a Selectboard member, I am proud of the budget oversight I supported in March which has limited our increases for the Milton community. If elected, I hope to help make Vermont more affordable for all of us so we can celebrate our lives a little bit better.
