Rep. Mike Rice

What a joy and an inspiration to be at Farm Aid for this past weekend with State Innovation Exchange and an intrepid group of 24 state legislators, plus farmers and advocates from all across the country who know that, in desperate times, the only thing to do is keep working together to build a stronger, fairer, more resilient country anchored by communities that show up for each other. Hope is a seed. Or, as the amazing Margo Price would say: don’t let the bastards get you down.

It was great to be out here with the best crew one last time, until the sun went down in Dorset!

Tomorrow is the day—if you haven’t voted yet, head to your polling place on Tuesday 11/5 by 7PM. Make your voice heard for real solutions to our shared challenges, a positive vision for our community, and a state where all Vermonters can afford to thrive.

Great crew for our honk-and-wave on the green tonight!
