Hello, I'm Doug Wood,
Republican candidate for State Representative Chittenden 20 District, Colchester.
For far too long, we have sent politicians to Montpelier who do nothing to make Vermont more affordable or safer for us in our cities and towns. They have little care for the constituents who voted them in. This has to change. I will be tackling the issues that matter the most to Vermonters.
1. Affordability
Housing, Heating and Fuel increases have become too expensive for the average Vermonter. We will stop legislation that continues to increase these needless fees.
2. Law and Order
We will support all law enforcement and stop the unsuccessful 'restorative justice' relief program. The catch and release program for repeat offenders has proven it seriously puts all of us risk. Safe communities are productive communities. This needs to happen now.
3. Taxes
The current Legislature with override vetoes, increased property taxes (The yield bill) an average, (AN AVERAGE!) of 14%. We need to stop the outlandish spending in Montpelier and decrease the tax burden on Vermonters.

Chris Taylor
I am a Vermont state representative dedicated to common sense legislation and fostering open communication in our community.
Chris, a native Vermonter, moved to Milton 17 years ago when he and his wife, Jenn, purchased a home to raise their growing family. He was quickly impressed with the sense of community and support his family felt in Milton and started becoming involved by volunteering with organizations and at town events to help give back. Eventually, Chris also wanted to help in another capacity and decided to run for election to the Selectboard. He was subsequently elected in 2017 and is serving in his eighth year on the board.
Chris was elected to the Vermont House of Representatives in 2022 and was appointed to the House Education Committee. His years of dedication to local government coupled with his 7 years experience working in the Milton Elementary School strengthens his voice in decision making and Vermont education policy.
During his two-year tenure in Montpelier, Chris was appointed by the Speaker of the House to the School Construction Aid Task Force, assigned to a Conference Committee to negotiate the passing of H.204, an important literacy bill, and had the honor of being nominated by Governor Scott and recommended by House leadership to apply for The Council of State Governments Henry Toll Fellowship for leadership.
He is excited to continue to serve on the local level and looks forward to continuing to represent Milton and Georgia on the state level.
“I promise to work hard and make informed decisions, to listen and engage in active meaningful discussions, to question and push when necessary and to be accessible and represent the residents of the district to the best of my ability.”.
