 Hello, my name is Lauren Hurl and I am running for the Montpelier City Council to represent District 1. I have served for four years and I'm running for another two-year term. And while serving on Council, I've been focused on a number of priorities, including building more affordable housing, building a more equitable community, addressing the climate crisis, and investing in resilient infrastructure. And I've had the opportunity to continue advancing these priorities by serving on a number of city committees, such as the Montpelier Energy Advisory Committee, the Social and Economic Justice Committee, and the Police Review Committee. And we've, through those, come out with a suite of recommendations to move forward on those priorities. In my day job, I work at Vermont Conservation Voters, where we work for a clean and healthy environment for all. And I'm the mother of two children in the Montpelier school system. And if reelected to City Council, I want to focus on a number of important issues, really continuing the work but moving it forward. So addressing the housing crisis, working with community partners to explore new opportunities such as at the Country Club road property. I want to continue our commitment to building more resilient infrastructure, so ensuring we have clean, safe water, roads, and sewage. I want to continue pushing to meet our commitment for net zero climate pollution by 2030. So implementing those recommendations for clean energy. I want to keep working for a more inclusive community and city government, where we're really representing the needs of all of our community members, and really supporting the unhoused in our community. And so look forward to hopefully continuing that work on City Council. And very much appreciate your support, and reach out to me anytime. Thanks so much.
