Lance Mills for Vermont

My vision of Vermont is a place where our communities remain strong, our natural resources are protected, and every Vermonter has the opportunity to thrive. I believe in supporting excellent public schools, affordable housing, affordable health care, and local small businesses. I believe in protecting our farms, forests, rivers, and open spaces while encouraging thoughtful economic development that creates quality jobs, strengthens our communities, and makes our children want to stay in Vermont.
 
As a writer, musician, Selectboard member, retired teacher, and small business owner living in Fairlee, I value creativity, lifelong learning, and civic engagement. I support practical solutions that address challenges such as housing affordability, clean drinking water, climate resilience, and the rising cost of living. I believe Vermont can lead by investing in renewable energy, supporting working lands, restructuring education funding, and ensuring that government remains responsive, transparent, and accountable.
 
Most importantly, I believe in bringing people together to find common-sense solutions that reflect Vermont’s tradition of independence, community, and stewardship for future generations.
