In her first biennium, Representative Harple:
- Helped to write education policy that bans cellphones in all K-12 Vermont schools beginning in 2026, which is already improving student mental health and strengthening learning outcomes by returning the focus in classrooms to academic growth and achievement.
- Supported investments to provide more low and middle-income housing in our state, as well as efforts to phase out the state’s failed motel program in favor of a better transition plan towards more permanent housing independence for homeless Vermonters.
- Supported tax credits for low-income veterans and state tax exemptions on military benefits.
- Opposed H. 454 (now Act 73), fighting hard to protect our local schools from the threat of forced consolidation.
- And so much more!
There’s still a lot more work to do in the coming year and beyond, especially around education transformation. This is a critical time to have a Northeast Kingdom teacher in the Vermont House, and Leanne can’t do it without community support. Donations help fund mailers, yard signs, and other forms of voter outreach. Can you make a donation to help her continue this important work in Montpelier and provide a strong voice for the people of the Northeast Kingdom?
