I was born and raised in Vermont and from a very young age I knew my purpose was to make a difference in my community. In a Representative Republic it is our duty to hold each other accountable and take care of one another. I have volunteered or donated to more causes than I can count. I graduated from Champlain College with a Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting.
- Taxes and Cost of Living
- Public Safety
- Parent’s Rights & School Choice
I am most passionate about ensuring Constitutional Rights and ensuring the government, never gets bigger than the people.
The Challenger Space Shuttle Explosion. I was just 8 years old. I was also old enough to remember the Iran Contra Affair, the 1st Gulf War and the Towers being hit on 911.
My very first job was babysitting, but not long after I began helping coach at my mother's gymnastics studio. She started it when I was just 5 years old. I helped for several years into high school.
I am a strong proponent of term limits for ALL federal officials.

Campaign website
Redic's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
What do you think about school choice? The people in the best position to make decisions about a child’s education and health are their parents. We ought to empower parents with information and choices that work for them and their family. The schools belong to us. As taxpayers and parents, we are paying the ever-rising budgets and seeing lower standards of excellence. Families should have the option to home school or enroll in charter schools without severe restrictions from the state. Let’s get teachers back to teaching and parents back to parenting.
The Green Mountain State is well known for its beautiful landscape and impressive mountains. We have recently become better known more for our mountain of taxes, regulations, and red tape than our ski resorts. Our officials are spending money on things that make us feel good but do little to improve the day to day lives of Vermonters. Big Government is in the way of the average American being able to thrive. Whether you were told your business, the way you put food on the table was not essential, or you must have some new certification or permission to continue working, bureaucrats are picking the winners and losers and using our taxes (labor) to pay for it. If we are to create good paying jobs in our state, overcome the high cost of living, and end the housing crisis we must cut taxes and stop imposing rules that stifle commerce and industry. You will never confiscate enough wealth to cover the cost of Vermont or our Nation’s massive debt. Just like every family in America, our government needs to tighten its belt and look for ways to cut the ample waste in its budget.

I am a native Vermonter and from a very young age I knew my purpose was to make a difference in my community. I successfully convinced my parents to start recycling years before it became mandatory. I even interviewed the President of Rowley Fuels after an oil spill in the Lamoille River in my hometown of Milton - in elementary school. In a Democracy it is our duty to hold each other accountable and take care of one another. I have volunteered or donated money to more causes than I can count. Through this work, I had the opportunity to make a difference in my community as well as influence policy changes at the local and state level.
I graduated from Champlain College with a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting when they still had the two plus two program and like many people raised in Vermont, I learned Values like tolerance, hard work, personal responsibility and a real acceptance of people for who or whatever they want to be.
I believe the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States are two of the most important documents ever written. They establish the framework for a most free and just society.
- Economy
- Education
- Public Safety
The foundation of economic growth is productivity, not the provision of services. For decades
America has been shrinking economically not because the rich are ripping us all off (though
surely wealth disparity has increased, at risk to all), but because of the twin destroyers of global competition (manufacturing jobs shifting overseas) and technological advance (which has eliminated even more jobs than foreign competition). These twin forces have provided
Americans with ever cheaper goods and ease in the short term, but long term have eroded that production element which is the foundation of all economies -
Vermont's education costs, pensions, bureaucratic bloat, and healthcare administration expenses are all unsustainable
Vermont's government is "serving" us by being the largest consumer of our earnings, while
destroying farms and local communities in a fool's errand to "save" us. Instead of a grand
government plan to rescue Vermonters, here we present is a simple plan to rescue Vermonters from grand government plans. It is meant to nurture Vermont with win-win-win proposals for food security and quality, pollution reduction, and sustained economic and agricultural growth.
This is the 2020 Vermont Farming Manifesto. This is a movement... in the right direction.
The Challenger space shuttle explosion. I was 7.
