Amanda was born on a farm, by a midwife in rural Vermont and raised in the town of South Strafford in a working-class, bi-racial family. Her father immigrated to the United States from Malaysia and worked as a civil engineer by day while washing dishes at night to support his family. Her mother taught her how to steward the land by raising sheep, tapping maple trees, gardening, mending and fixing things instead of throwing them away.

Recognizing that governments often measure success by GDP growth and stock market values while overlooking whether people are actually healthier, more secure, and better off, Amanda now works as the Economics and Policy Lead for the Wellbeing Economy Alliance, a global network working across more than sixty countries to redesign economic systems around the wellbeing of people and the planet. She has advised governments including Scotland, Wales, Finland, New Zealand, and Canada on how to establish long-term goals, align budgets and fiscal policies with public priorities, and build institutions capable of delivering transformational change.

Today, Amanda rents an apartment in Burlington because, like so many Vermonters her age, she has been priced out of buying a home in the community where she grew up. She understands the pressures facing working families not only as an economist who has spent her career addressing these challenges, but as a Vermonter living them herself.

For decades, we’ve treated housing as an investment rather than a home. More homes are being purchased by investors, second-home owners, and corporations while working Vermonters are priced out of the communities they grew up in. At the same time, we haven’t invested enough in permanently affordable housing or made it easy enough for ordinary Vermonters to build, renovate, and own homes themselves.

For generations, healthcare in Vermont was rooted in relationships. Families knew their doctor, local hospitals and independent pharmacies served as anchors of their communities, and people could receive care close to home from providers who understood their lives.

The promise of our federal system was that states would serve as laboratories of democracy and bulwarks against authoritarianism. Vermont has an opportunity to demonstrate that the answer isn’t less democracy, it’s better democracy: democracy that is more accessible, more deliberative, more participatory, and more empowering.

Together, we can strengthen Vermont’s economy from the bottom up by investing in local businesses, workers, farmers, entrepreneurs, and the industries of the future—creating good jobs, producing more of what we need here at home and keeping more wealth circulating in our communities instead of flowing to distant corporations and shareholders.

The future of Vermont won’t be built by waiting for prosperity to trickle down. It will be built by investing in the people, businesses, farms, and communities that are already here—creating an economy where more wealth is created here, stays here, and is shared more broadly. This is not about isolating ourselves but investing in ourselves, our strengths and our communities so that we can weather the storms ahead and lay the foundations for a more prosperous future.

Instead of competing to attract investment from somewhere else, we can invest in the people, businesses, industries, and communities that already make Vermont strong. By helping Vermont businesses grow, connecting local producers with local buyers, expanding local ownership, and producing more of the food, energy, housing, healthcare, building materials, and other essential goods we need here at home, we can create an economy that’s more prosperous, more affordable, and far more resilient.

Invest in senior housing and universal accessibility by expanding accessible housing, aging-in-place programs, and incentives that allow older Vermonters to remain in their communities while freeing up homes for younger families.

We can build a Vermont where homes are owned by people, neighborhoods still know their neighbors, and every community has the opportunity to thrive. By making it easier for Vermonters to rent, buy, build, and remain in their homes, we’ll lower housing costs and property taxes, help young families put down roots, enable older Vermonters to age with dignity in their communities, reduce homelessness, and create good-paying jobs in the skilled trades.

Modernize Vermont’s property tax and housing classification system by recognizing the different roles housing plays in our communities. Primary homes, workforce housing, permanently affordable housing, small Vermont landlords, and modest family camps would receive greater protections, while luxury second homes, commercial vacation rentals, vacant investment properties, and large corporate or private-equity ownership would contribute more. We’ll also close ownership loopholes that allow large investors to hide behind multiple LLCs, ensuring our tax system rewards homes that strengthen Vermont communities—not big investors and rich out of staters.

Invest upstream rather than paying for crises downstream. By providing children and families with healthcare, counseling, childcare, food assistance, housing support, and other services before problems become emergencies, we can improve educational outcomes while reducing long-term costs in healthcare, corrections, child welfare, homelessness, and special education. Research consistently shows that community schools improve attendance, behavior, graduation rates, and academic achievement because they remove barriers to learning before they become crises.

Place a moratorium on AI data centers and make clear that Vermont is not for sale to the AI industry. We will oppose the development of energy-intensive AI data centers and the new nuclear power infrastructure proposed to support them. Vermont’s land, water, and affordable electricity should strengthen our communities—not subsidize the growing concentration of wealth and power in a handful of global technology corporations.
