About Our Mission
As part of the Vermont Democratic Party, the Milton Democratic Committee is working toward a Vermont that works for everyone. We believe that healthy communities are built on shared responsibility, fairness, and local engagement.
We align with the VDP platform while bringing it home to Milton in the following ways:
Democracy
We support open, fair elections, transparent local governance, and strong civic participation.
Milton thrives when more of us are informed, involved, and respected in the process.
Equity
Everyone in Milton deserves to feel safe, included, and valued, regardless of background, identity, or circumstances. Equity means removing barriers and expanding access to opportunities in town
governance, education, health, and economic life.
Prosperity for All
We believe in building a strong local economy by supporting working families, improving affordability,
and ensuring that growth benefits everyone, not just a few.
Environmental Responsibility
We are committed to climate action and protecting the natural resources we all rely on. Whether it’s clean air, healthy water, or resilient infrastructure, these efforts protect both our health and our future.
Health Care is a Right
Quality, affordable healthcare—including mental health and substance use support—should be available to every Milton resident. No one should be left behind because of their income or zip code.
Safe & Supportive Communities
Community safety means more than policing—it includes housing stability, access to services, youth programs, and mental health care. We support evidence-based approaches that reduce harm and build trust.
Excellent Public Education
We believe in fully funding strong public schools and access to early childhood education. Milton’s future depends on supporting teachers, students, and lifelong learning.
