We believe it’s critical, especially at this time, to report on what is actually going on behind the scenes in Congress as it happens.

In addition to covering what Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders and our lone D.C. representative, Peter Welch, on the ground in D.C., Elizabeth is keeping all of us informed about the impact of the Trump administration on Vermont.

Whether it’s tax reform, environmental protection or immigration issues, Elizabeth gets the real story for readers. Follow Elizabeth’s reporting here.
