David Zuckerman: Supports sustainable agriculture & diversified farms

Having served in the Vermont House for 14 years, I know firsthand how to get things done. I was a leader on many pieces of legislation during that time including; marriage equality, sustainable agriculture, raising the minimum wage, universal healthcare , affordable housing, marijuana reforms, renewable energy and others.

While serving in the House I garnered respect from across the aisles. Democratic Speaker Gaye Symington appointed me as the Chair of Agriculture for 4 years and during that time we improved water quality, economic opportunities for diversified farms, and worked towards long term stability for Vermont's dairy farmers.

As a small business owner, I understand the challenges of meeting payroll obligations, producing product and selling it. My wife and I operate an organic vegetable and meat farm with 25 acres in vegetables, 1000 chickens and 25 pigs.
