We Came Up Short

Earlier this year, I decided to run for State Senate because I believe deeply in our community and the need for a strong voice for rural values in the Statehouse. This campaign quickly became more than just one person’s effort—it was all of ours, a collective vision for a community where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.

Though we came up just short, I want to congratulate Sam Douglass on his victory and wish him the best.

In a challenging, divisive season, we ran a positive, spirited campaign. Together, we put up signs, wrote letters, and reached out to neighbors. Your incredible support made this effort possible—thank you.

While I won’t be in the Senate, I’ll still be here, rolling up my sleeves to keep building community and fighting for a Vermont where everyone can thrive.

Thank you for this honor. I look forward to all we’ll accomplish together.

With gratitude,

Katherine Sims
