My name is Jane Wheeler and I am running for RTM in District 8. I was born, grew up and worked in Brattleboro. Outside of about 8 years when I lived in close by towns I have always lived in Brattleboro. I have had many lived experiences in Brattleboro- school kid, factory worker, drunk, recovering alcoholic, renter and now a property owner, addictions counselor, houseparent at Kurn Hattin, co-founder of the VT Counsel on Problem Gambling, case manger for Senior Solutions, resource advocate at Grace Cottage Hospital, caregiver for aging family members, and now as a retired older person. I have a master’s degree with the focus in counseling psychology. Informal education includes matriarchal studies and plant medicine.
It is because of these many lived experiences and my many years in Brattleboro that I want to serve my community. I would encourage people to get out and vote on March 4 as there are several questions on the ballet that need your input. Your vote on these questions will guide my position at the town meeting if I am elected. Thank you,
Jane Wheeler
