## Transcript

Well you know when you heard that letter being read from that transgender woman from outside of Washington. Those are the kind of things that keep me going every day. I get those letters daily and those letters I can handle all the bigotry, and all the grief in the world. To know that I'm supporting people in an marginalized community. And it's not just about the transgender community, it's not just about the LGBT community, it's about all marginalized communities. I have a plan to [ UNKNOWN ] economy, it's one thing to just fight over the scraps on the table. But we gotta put more food on the table.

And when you look at my fiber plan and the plan to build our communities with tax increment financing, Vermont needs a 20- year vision. Vermont needs a vision that goes beyond the candidate, beyond the governor, and that's what leaders should be doing. And I think Vermonters will wake up to the fact they're not getting that out of their current leadership.
