This press release went from the Gibbs campaign to all major Vermont papers earlier this week. Consider voting for Jason Gibbs for Sec. of State. He's very down to earth and not afraid of hard work. Here's the press release:
Rep. Branagan will Go With Gibbs for Secretary of State
GEORGIA - Rep. Carolyn Branagan, R-Georgia, today said she is backing Jason G. Gibbs for Secretary of State.
The four-term lawmaker, town moderator and school board chairwoman said she's endorsing Gibbs because the Secretary of State must be a leader who values the strong links between local and state government.
"I am going with Jason; he will provide strong leadership for the Green Mountain State and be able to forge the important partnerships between Vermont town officials and their state government," Branagan said. "Jason is a wonderful leader whose ability to build consensus around important issues will be put to good use as Secretary of State. On top of that, Jason is a true Vermonter."
Gibbs said the Secretary of State is a starting point for responsible leadership for Vermont.
"I am humbled by Rep. Branagan's endorsement. During her time in Montpelier, Rep. Branagan has proven time and again that she is a noble steward for Georgia and Fairfax in the Statehouse. Her commitment to women is laudable and her focus on education is inspirational," Gibbs said.
The Vermont State Government can do better for Vermonters and in a less costly fashion. We need real results that improve outcomes for Vermonters-Gibbs said.
"As Secretary of State, I'll start by simplifying and streamlining the professional licensing, business registration, regulatory functions and other responsibilities of the Secretary of State's office," said Gibbs. "But we can't stop there. This transformation to more entrepreneurial public management must occur all across state government. I will lead by example. This is a hard time for Vermonters and Americans, and it is a time for leaders to stand up and find ways to rethink government to benefit all of our people."
