Why Susan's running

The world is falling apart and our lives are so busy it all just seems too much to cope with. So many of us just keep right on doing the same stuff we have always done; or as I like to say, "We've cut the board 3 times and it's still to short!" That's where I ask, what should I do?

As I see it, any individual has two choices; stick your head in the sand or look around and see what reasonable things you can do to help make a difference. If you chose to stick your head in the sand, you are leaving other parts of your body quite vulnerable, so I recommend against sticking your head in the sand.

My solution 18 years ago was to run for senator. I was fed up with politicians that didn't represent my priorities and the priorities of my friends. The current senator was retiring and everyone knew who the next senator would be, another guy who didn't represent my values. It wasn't sitting very well with me because I believed that voters deserve a choice and I was tired of not having a choice.

Now I am running as a moderate democrat for governor, offering my vision and experience to lead Vermont to a better future, balancing the diverse needs of the wonderful people who live here.
