Hey there!

Here we are with another candidate interview ahead of the September 6, 2022, Democratic Primary election. Today, I talk with 10-year incumbent Ken Gordon.

We chat about the unique qualities and needs of Burlington, the importance of family leave, affordable housing, and transportation, and the advances our state has made that make Ken proud. Ken also talks about looking to the future, why he expects the state house will take an even stronger role than ever, and why he’s the right person for the job.

Hope you enjoy!

Listen to my interview with challenger Timmy Sullivan.
