I encouraged Mike to run for this position because Vermonters know and trust him. He has the right experience and background that uniquely suit him to the duties of the Treasurer’s Office, and he brings an open, collaborative approach to everything he does. Under Mike’s leadership, I know the Treasurer’s Office would be in good hands.
