“Here is why I’m supporting Wendy in a field of good candidates:

• Wendy and I served on the Windham Regional Commission's Transportation Committee. She is intelligent, knowledgeable, and open to different perspectives. She was committed to making pubic transportation available and usable by everyone and will work to ensure funding for safe biking and walking.

• Wendy has spent her career in local government leadership. I believe she has the temperament for the collaboration necessary for a legislative position.

• I know Wendy will ensure Vermont continues to protect LGBTQ rights and a woman’s right to choose. As a lesbian feminist, this is very important to me.

• She is friendly, caring, hard working and down to earth.”

— Prudence MacKinney, Brattleboro

“I had the pleasure of working closely with Wendy when she served as Interim City Manager for Winooski. During that time she showed a deep knowledge of the needs of local government and how State level policies can impact us at the ground level in areas like housing affordability, transportation access equity, and sustainable financial planning. Wendy's hands-on experience in local government will be an asset to the legislature.”

— Kristine Lott, Winooski Mayor

“We have known Wendy since she and her husband moved to Brattleboro eight years ago, and we wholeheartedly endorse her candidacy for the Vermont Senate! Her deep experience in the operations of municipal governments, both throughout Vermont and, prior to that, in Florida, will serve the people of Vermont well as the state navigates the challenges—and opportunities—that lie ahead.”

— Alex and Jerelyn Wilson, Dummerston

“I worked closely on a redevelopment project with Wendy during her time as the Municipal Manager of Rockingham and Bellows Falls. Wendy's enthusiasm was refreshing. She promoted creating new jobs that would positively impact the Town and play to the strengths of the Community. I enjoyed her insightful participation and fresh outlook!”

— Robin Sweetapple, Brattleboro

“Other people will tell you about Wendy’s accomplishments in public service. But what will make Wendy a great public servant working for the people of Windham County and the State of Vermont is that Wendy asks questions and she listens.”

— Deborah Lee Luskin, Newfane

“I want to add my voice to the growing list of people endorsing and supporting Wendy Harrison for State Senate from the Windham District. I have known of Harrison’s work in several municipalities across Vermont, each of which showed her experience and skill to the town’s advantage. Each also demonstrated her carefully thought through and tested commitment to public engagement. She will be a credit to our region and to the state as a State Senator.”

— Jeffrey M. Lewis, BDCC, Executive, retired and Vermont Futures Project, co-founder

“Honest, dependable, smart, dedicated, passionate and compassionate - these are words I use to describe Wendy Harrison. She actively listens and is always open to new ideas and beliefs. She is not afraid to tackle the most challenging situations and does so with patience, commitment, and civility. I trust her as a leader and am proud to call her not only my professional colleague but my personal friend.”

— Katie Buckley, Former Commissioner of Housing and Community Development for the State of Vermont
