Donate to Hannah for Burlington

I’m proud of my roots in Ward 8. I’m the daughter of a single mother who works as a healthcare worker and my father was a construction worker. The lived experiences of my family have served as the foundation for my commitment to pushing actionable, forward-thinking, progressive policy forward at City Hall. I truly understand the struggles so many of my Ward 8 neighbors face because I’ve lived them myself. Together, we won last March - and I became the first Democrat to represent Ward 8 on the City Council.

I’m running for re-election to the City Council to continue my work as a representative leader that listens and is responsive, is thoughtful in my approach to solving complex problems, and, frankly, just puts real progress before politics as usual. 

I believe we can solve our deepest challenges by working together and listening to each other. I’ve worked tirelessly on behalf of our Ward 8 neighborhood serving as a Steering Committee Member on the Wards 1 and 8 Neighborhood Planning Association, and as the Ward 8 Representative on the Community Development Block Grant Advisory Board. Through these roles, I’ve had the opportunity to help expand language access in some of our community's most important events, such as assisting in organizing Vermont’s first live translated mayoral forum. As well as working to strengthen relationships between students and long-term Burlington residents by creating a pen pal program to encourage productive dialogue within Ward 8. I’ve also worked closely with my neighbors and university leaders to de-escalate problematic situations in our student-dense neighborhoods. 

Ward 8 neighbors deserve a councilor who is willing to fight with, and for them. Someone who sticks around even when circumstances get tough. This is going to be a tough fight, but I know with your help we can win again.

Every penny counts in a race like this. Support our team by making a donation today!
