Hi, I'm Adrienne Raymond. I'm running to give a voice to all in our communities and I am asking for your vote

I’ve lived in Shrewsbury for most of my life.  I moved here when I was 20, married a local boy, and raised 3 children here.  All of them went to Shrewsbury Elementary and then on to Mill River.  I am now a proud grandmother to 3 almost 4 grandchildren. 

My working life has covered a lot ground.  I started my working life as a Pension Analyst for National Life Insurance Company and after my first son was born and we moved back to Shrewsbury full-time, I started volunteering and working for the town and schools in a variety of positions. 

When I’m asked why are you running?  Are you nuts?  My answer:  I’ve lived my whole life filling so many roles: Mother, Wife, School Board Member, School Board Chair, Zoning Administrator, Justice of the Peace, Lister, Auditor, Animal Control Officer, Four Winds (ELF) Coordinator, VTVSBA Board Member, Employer Commissioner for Educators’ Healthcare, Rental Agent for my family’s house rental business, and for the last almost 15yrs, I’ve served as a Guardian ad Litem in the Rutland Family Court.  All of these experiences have given me perspective and knowledge about the many issues that face our Legislature and I want to help them make the right decisions for the people of Mt Holly, Ludlow, and Shrewsbury.

My competition

I do not like negative campaigning. My opponent, Kevin Winter is saying one thing to the MAGA Republican base and very different things in his mailers so I include a letter from my Campaign Treasurer to address this.

You, like me, probably received a mailing from Kevin Winter about running for State Representative. The headline says “It’s time for moderation and reason in Montpelier.” Elsewhere he describes himself as an extremist. He has said he is a First Amendment extremist. This would explain why he opposes laws that force so-called Rape Crisis Centers to be honest about who they are and what they do. He calls himself a Second Amendment extremist. This means he will fight against common-sense laws that protect school children against gun violence and protect the mentally stressed against using weapons of war against themselves and others. He says he is a Constitutional Originalist. That means a return to the era when only white male property owners could vote and slave owners got an extra ⅔ vote for every slave they owned. We can see the chaos the Originalist Supreme Court has wrought. He has also said he wants to be an Evangelical Christian voice in Montpelier. He supports MAGA Republicans and refused to say that he believed President Biden won the election in 2020. 

None of this sounds moderate. None of this reflects the kind of community I moved to Vermont to live in. 

Luckily, we have Adrienne Raymond on the ballot. Adrienne has shown through her years of service that she listens to all of us and has practical, hands-on experience with how our towns and state actually work and She has held many positions in Town Government. That service has given her insight into what will work and what will not. 

She served on our local school boards for 20+years. She understands Vermont’s funding system and the possible impacts of proposed changes. For almost 15 years she has been a Guardian ad Litem in the Rutland Family Courts working with kids in DCF custody to navigate that system. I know the societal problems that our schools have been tasked to solve. If you want someone who has lived their life here, raised their children here, and most importantly given back here, then please vote for Adrienne Raymond!
