Dear Neighbors and Friends,

I hope you enjoyed the holidays and that 2020 is off to a good start for you!

I have been busy these last few months attending meetings, forums and events, and reading legislative reports to prepare for the upcoming session that begins on January 7th. I want to thank everyone who has been engaged and working to make Guilford and Vernon great places to live and work.

As a new legislator I have focused my efforts on strengthening our rural economy, ensuring quality and affordable education and childcare, protecting our rivers, streams and lakes, taking steps to address climate change and reforming our criminal justice system. Some of the work is ground breaking, and some of it is in the fine details, but all of it is in an effort to help Vermont families and communities thrive.

In December, I circulated an issues survey, and I’ve heard from many of you and have had the opportunity to learn about your priorities for 2020. Thank you for sharing feedback, it is a huge help. There is still time to share your thoughts on some of the major topics that we will be tackling at the State House. Please take a few minutes and let me know where you stand on some of the issues by filling out the 2020 Vermont issues survey. Your responses will help me in advocating for the issues that you care about.

During the legislative session, I have regular coffee hours every month on the first Saturday in Vernon from 10-11AM at the Vernon Free Library, and first Sundays in Guilford from 3-4PM at the Guilford Country Store. Please join me this Saturday in Vernon from 10-11am at the Vernon Free Library or in Guilford from 3-4pm at the Guilford Country Store. Feel free to stop by for a few minutes or for the full hour in either Vernon or Guilford at a time that works for you. Please note that there will be no coffee hours in March as I will be at Town Meeting that week, and look forward to connecting with folks then.

I also send out regular updates from the State House. If you’d like to receive my legislative updates via e-mail please sign up for my mailing list via my website www.saracoffeyvt.com.

As always, it's an honor serving as your Representative in the Vermont Assembly, and please be in touch. I can be best reached via email at SCoffey@leg.state.vt.us, by calling the State House at (802) 828-2228 or by leaving a message for me at my home phone (802)257-0288.

I look forward to our discussions as the debates of 2020 get underway, and look forward to seeing you at a coffee hour, in the community or at Town Meeting the first week of March. It's a real privilege to serve Guilford and Vernon in the Vermont Assembly.

Please stay in touch!
