Molly is a proud product of Vermont’s education system. After attending the University of Vermont on an Athletic Scholarship, Molly hung up her cross country skis and put her energy and drive into helping elect Peter Welch to Congress, serving as his scheduler and later moving to Washington to serve Vermonters as a congressional aide in his office.

Molly grew up on a vegetable and small dairy farm in South Newbury still operated by her family today. Molly was raised on the principle that you “take care of the land that has taken care of us,” and recognizes the incredible role dairy farmers, fruit and vegetable growers, sugar makers, loggers, outdoor recreation leaders, and others take to care for Vermont’s land and environment. Simply put, Vermont’s working landscape and forest are essential to our identity, and economy.

Meanwhile, advances in renewable energy technology have made clean energy more affordable and accessible than ever before. That's why Molly believes now is the time to double down, not back down, on investments in renewable energy produced right here in Vermont. By accelerating the transition to clean, locally generated energy, Vermont can reduce costs for families, strengthen energy independence, and build a more resilient future for generations to come.

Molly also recognizes that Vermont’s shrinking school-age population requires thoughtful reforms that support cooperation and, where appropriate, consolidation between communities. But she believes closing schools and consolidating districts alone will not truly stabilize property taxes or address the underlying financial pressures facing public education.

One of the biggest drivers of rising education costs is healthcare. Health insurance premiums for public school employees have increased by double digits in recent years, significantly raising school budgets and Vermonters’ property tax bills. Molly believes Vermont must confront these rising healthcare costs while protecting strong local schools and educational opportunities for students across the state.

Fast-track pre-approved housing plans statewide by advancing Vermont’s 802 Homes housing proposal. The state has already begun developing easy-to-use housing blueprints that allow small-scale developers to build faster, cheaper, and with fewer permitting delays. Once finalized, projects that use these standardized plans should receive automatic statewide zoning approval — cutting red tape and helping Vermont build more housing, faster.

Champion the Corporate Power Reset, amending state law to say plainly that corporations doing business in Vermont cannot spend money in our elections. It's a commonsense fix — and it's one we can actually control here in our state. Hawaii became the first state in the country to do this in May of this year. California has introduced similar legislation. And Montana has a measure on the ballot this November to limit corporate spending in elections.
