THANK YOU FOR VISITING...
As a former Village Trustee and current State Representative, I have knocked on a lot of doors locally and know how important communication is. I also know how busy you are, and how hard it is to keep up with all the state and local issues which affect our daily lives. Hopefully, this website will provide some insights into the campaign and help you contact me easily if you’d like more information. In the last session, several local issues from Essex Junction took the form of legislation and were signed into law this year....the process really can work if you get involved.
I pledge to work hard for re-election to the House of Representatives this November. I look forward to talking to every voter in the Village before then, and I hope to earn your support for one of your two House votes.
"There’s no better background for a state representative than having served at the local level. We share some of the same municipal concerns and I think Tim will continue to make a great representative for Essex Junction." --State Senator Ginny Lyons, Chair of Senate Natural Resources Committee and member of Williston Selectboard
"Tim’s municipal experience is a tremendous asset in Montpelier. He knows how to advocate and fight for local government" --State Senator Jim Condos, Chair of Senate Education and Chair, South Burlington City Council
"As a VSAC Board member, I’ve known Tim for many years. He has a great reputation for fairness and hard work in the higher education community. We need to keep him in the House for Essex Junction!" -- State Representative Martha Heath, Essex-Westford, Chair, Westford School Board and Vice-chair, VSAC and UVM Board of Directors
"Tim has been active in promoting civic engagement in the legislature. As a teacher, I appreciate Tim’s efforts to support community youth as a parent, a CHIPS Board member, youth mentor, and volunteer." - Peter Gustafson, Essex Junction Village Trustee and teacher, ADL Middle School
"I’ve worked with Tim on a host of postsecondary education issues for many years. He’s the kind of representative who works on a bi-partisan basis to get things done. He does it with compassion, knowledge, judgment, and a good dose of humor. - Bruce Post, Essex, former aide to Vermont U.S. Senators Robert Stafford and James Jeffords
"Dad, get a life..." - Jenna Jerman, informed close personal relative!
