The "Flood the Red Zone" campaign takes the message of taxing the rich directly to working-class voters.
Their goal: ensuring politicians focus on policies that benefit all Americans, not just the ultra-wealthy. A fairer economy is a stronger democracy. 🇺🇸 #SaveAmerica

Why are millionaires demanding higher taxes on themselves? Because money is money.
Investment income (wealth, rich people) should be taxed at the same rate as labor income (wages, workers). That's what the Equal Tax Act (H.R. 5336) is designed to do. #TaxFairness

Vermonters deserve real solutions. We need fair, progressive taxation and meaningful investment in our schools. What we don’t need are political cover-ups or austerity disguised as reform. #vtpoli

We need a real opposition. But when nearly 20% of the Democratic caucus failed to act at a pivotal moment, it’s beyond disappointing. It’s outrageous. #vtpoli #vthealthcare #vermont #savethesubstidies

While Trump and his allies celebrate economic devastation, they rake in trillions through tax cuts and shady deals. Meanwhile, ordinary people suffer.

Let’s be clear: the root of this crisis lies with President Trump and his sycophants. Those who once opposed him now bend to his every whim. It’s reprehensible.

This decision is bad policy and bad politics. And the Democratic Party wonders why trust is eroding.

What’s worse? The Democrats who voted for this aren’t up for re-election in 2026. They know voters have short memories. Their vulnerable colleagues—and the party—will pay the price.

Some said the message was moderate. Others said it was progressive. Either way, it was a landslide. Voters demanded change. They believed Democrats would stand with working people.

Small schools aren’t the cost drivers. Let BOCES work. Share resources. Buy in bulk. Fix healthcare costs. Shift mental health funding to Human Services. #SmartSavings #vtpoli #datadrivenpolicy

The process feels rushed. The Administration hasn’t provided the data to justify these changes. We need transparency and real numbers before making big decisions.

My remarks and others were met with strong support. Vermonters are fed up. Taxes are too high — and the burden falls hardest on working & middle-class families

The Governor’s claim of $180M/year in savings from school consolidation? Most attendees didn’t buy it. Many pointed out rising costs elsewhere would cancel out any savings.
