It is with great pleasure and conviction that I am proud to endorse Doug Wood for Colchester State

Representative. Myself, a current State Representative who has served Colchester for  22 years,

have had the opportunity to witness firsthand the dedication, integrity, and passion that Doug Wood

brings to the table.


Throughout his life, Doug has consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to serving the people of

Colchester first and then the State of Vermont. He understands the pressing issues facing our

community, whether it's advocating for a safer Colchester, fighting for voter integrity, or championing

economic growth and job creation.


What truly sets Doug apart is his ability to listen to the concerns of constituents and translate them into

meaningful action. He is a tireless advocate for all members of our community, regardless of background

or circumstance. His collaborative approach to governance and willingness to work across party lines

make him an effective and inclusive leader who can bring about positive change.


I have every confidence that Doug Wood possesses the vision, the leadership, and the integrity needed

to represent our district with honor and distinction. He embodies the values that we hold dear: fairness,

compassion, and a relentless commitment to progress.


I urge you to join me in supporting Doug Wood for State Representative. Together, let us empower Doug

to continue fighting for the betterment of our community and the prosperity of all its residents.

Thank you.

I am pleased to endorse Doug Wood for State Representative, Colchester Village.

Doug Wood and I grew up together in Essex. Doug is a 6th generation Vermonter. Doug attended EJHS and the University of Vermont. Doug learned respect for a good education and our Nation from his dad. Doug’s dad was a WWII vet and former Superintendent of Schools in Essex Junction. Doug grew up hunting, fishing, and camping. Doug is an avid outdoorsman, hunter and fisherman, and supporter of the 2nd amendment.

Doug has three decades of managerial experience in the Aviation travel industry. It is my opinion that Doug’s work experience will be of value to the general assembly in Montpelier.

Doug Wood is focused on enacting legislation that will grow our economy to create more and better jobs. Doug is passionate that our elected leaders need to work together to serve working Vermonters. Doug understands that our small businesses are the economic engine of Vermont. He is committed to enacting policies that address our high cost of living and that will seek to retain the exodus of native Vermonters leaving the state because of out of control taxes.

We are facing some very challenging times. Doug will use his three decades of business experience to tackle our challenging financial problems. Doug is committed to serving the people of Colchester. Doug will bring collaboration and common sense to the Montpelier. We need Doug Wood to move our State forward. Please vote Doug Wood for State Representative for Chittenden 20

Sincerely,

Brian Dubie,

Lt Governor Vermont 2003-2011
