Eastes: a levelheaded and responsible leader

GUILFORD-Guilford and Vernon voters must decide who will replace Rep. Sara Coffey on the Democratic ticket for the Windham-1 state representative seat in November.

Sara supports Zon Eastes' campaign. Zon's opponent is the guy who's brought frivolous lawsuits against the town of Guilford, which have been dismissed by the Vermont Supreme Court but have cost Guilford residents nearly $50,000 in legal fees.

The same opponent relentlessly criticizes our elected officials for paying for this defense, while supporting the MAGA Republican candidate's campaign!

This Democratic Primary challenger's goal appears to be to make a sham of democratic elections and governance at the local level and beyond.

In contrast, Zon Eastes has been a levelheaded and responsible leader in his life's work and as chair of the Guilford Selectboard.

He has proven he will work tirelessly to represent Windham-1 in the state Legislature.
