Introducing Rep Carris Duncan

I’m honored that you have chosen to have me represent you in Montpelier. During the course of this election I have had the pleasure of learning that our concerns about housing, education, taxation, and general cost of living go far beyond party. I believe that this offers us the opportunity to heal our divisions. I look forward to working with and for everyone in the community, including those who voted for my opponent, as we chart the best path forward. I am grateful that you have welcomed me into your homes and businesses to share your worries, hopes, and visions for this vibrant community. Thank you for putting your trust in me to help bring this vision for a resilient, flourishing region to life. 

We are in a pivotal time and it means using our best creative ideas to build for a resilient future. In Montpelier I will work hard to find ways to fund more small safe housing units and increase our weatherization efforts to bring down the overall energy costs of our housing and to create education solutions that use our tax dollars to fully serve our community’s health and education needs.

I certainly couldn’t have done this alone. I had fantastic support behind me. Thank you to the Vermont Democratic Party, Windham County Dems + Whitingham Dems for showing up and standing by me during this race. Your assistance and guidance has been invaluable. Thank you to Corey for driving many miles and being right by my side. Ann Manwaring, thank you for showing me the ropes and keeping me on track. And thank you to my Dad, Bill for his wisdom and my family for cheering me on and keeping me going. Thank you to Abbie Corse and the entire Corse/Powell family for your love and steadfast commitment. To my donors, with your support I was able to get my message out to thousands of voters.  To the postcard posse Lynn, Kevin, Pam, Cristos, Ana, Rachel, Graham, Aysha, Todd, Emily, Abbie, and Cassie you are all rockstars thank you for all your help reaching so many voters. To all my friends locally and beyond and my community at Ratu’s thank you for inspiring me to keep going and growing.

This has been such a wonderful experience. I aim to represent you well. But I can’t do this alone. Be in touch with me, tell me what you need and I promise I will keep you up to date on what is happening in your state capital. Together we will grow this community.
