The challenges Burlington faces cannot be solved by one municipality alone. It requires cooperation within our City and with partners at the state level.

Last Monday, the Burlington City Council passed a bipartisan resolution that identified the ways we need stronger and more tangible partnership with the state, like support in identifying a location for a new 100-bed shelter for our unhoused neighbors.

I'd like to thank our Councilors for working with my administration and for collaborating across party lines to support this resolution.

My team is working with the Governor's Office to set up a meeting to discuss the ideas in this resolution and to explore how we can strengthen our partnership to make Burlington healthier and safer for everyone.

Happy First Day Back, Burlington School District and Burlington families. Wishing you all a happy and healthy school year. Thank you to all the faculty, staff, and school leaders who prepared our school buildings, classrooms, and school communities to be ready for today. Also thank you to our amazing Burlington Public Works crossing guard team and Green Mountain Transit partners for getting kids safely to all of our schools. 🎉

My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and everyone affected by these acts of violence. Everyone in our community should feel safe and secure – and be safe and secure.

Safety is the top priority of my administration and Burlington continues to work to reduce violent crime and disorder.

This City has momentum; we’re feeling it and we hope you are, too! With over 100 free summer events💃, generational infrastructure projects wrapping up🎉, and meaningful progress on community safety☀️, we’re excited to share: ✨Burlington Is Back!✨

Today, the City released our Use of Force Review from the March 11th ICE incident. I want to be clear. While the review is complete, the conversation is not.

While the City found no violations of existing law or policy in the March 11 incident, this process exposed gaps in how our community responds to federal immigration enforcement. We owe our immigrant and refugee neighbors more than review findings—we owe them clarity, stronger policies, and support.

As Burlington moves forward, the work continues: rebuilding trust, strengthening policies, and ensuring our values of safety, inclusion, and respect guide every decision.
