    "Zach stepped up when I asked him to serve as the Special Prosecutor in Chittenden County's Accountability Court. He was instrumental in its success working with law enforcement, service providers, and business owners to deliver results that held repeat offenders accountable and helped those who wanted to turn their lives around find resources and support to get back on track.

    I was thrilled to see Zach step up, once again, to serve the folks of Franklin County as State's Attorney. I know he'll do a great job."

    Why Franklin County?

    I’ve decided to run for State’s Attorney because I’m genuinely passionate about Franklin County and believe that the best way to serve this community is to be a real part of it. To me, being your State’s Attorney shouldn't mean staying tucked away in a courtroom; it means being out there with you, whether I’m catching up with neighbors at Kingman Fest or enjoying the traditions of the Enosburg Vermont Dairy Festival and our local farmers markets. I’ve spent my career litigating across Vermont, but Franklin County's charm and commitment to community resonate with me.
