Where they stand

• Housing
  Supports repealing Act 250, Vermont's land-use permitting law, and building homes for under $150,000 each, funded partly by a 0.6% increase in property taxes on short-term rentals and second homes. Would also raise taxes on short-term rental room revenue to cut taxes for middle- and lower-income Vermonters.[2]

• Health Care
  Supports a public health insurance option for people earning under $100,000 a year, funded by higher taxes on the wealthiest residents, and an eventual move to universal health care.[2]
• Energy & Environment
  Opposes the state's electric vehicle requirements, which he calls the Scott administration's EV mandate, and supports allowing a nuclear power plant in Vermont.[2]
