Endorsements

Martine Larocque Gulick, Vermont State Senator

“Bryn shows up for her community in everything she does, and works tirelessly for Winooski. She leads with compassion and empathy, working toward a clean environment and improved quality of life for everyone in and around the City. Her commitment to public service is clear both through her work on City Council as well as with Chittenden Solid Waste District, and Green Up Vermont. It is such an honor to know and work with Bryn.”

Connor Daley, Winooski Resident, Airport Commissioner

“I'm wholeheartedly endorsing Bryn Oakleaf for City Council, one of the best public servants I have ever met (and I've met a lot across the country!)

Bryn is extremely diligent, inquisitive, and thoughtful in her approach to her work on City Council and helping to make Vermont better every day. She is extremely passionate about the environment, serving on the Chittenden Solid Waste District Commission for almost eight years, the Board of Green Up Vermont, and now working at Efficiency Vermont. But her work extends much beyond just this scope of work - she is passionate about how our City works and how people move, and I've had many great conversations with her about our public transit system, municipal infrastructure, and airport issues. And if you ever watch/attend a City Council meeting, she brings her A-game every time. On a personal level, she's a wonderful friend - I value that in a community leader, too.

One refrain I hear her say over and over again, with genuine care, is that "I'm just trying to do a good job. Winooski deserves it!" And in my opinion, she's done a great job. We deserve to reelect Bryn Oakleaf on Town Meeting Day.”

Eric Covey, former Winooski City Councilor

“I have seen first-hand the dedication and interest Bryn Oakleaf has in our city. Even before running for City Council Bryn would regularly attend Council meetings, and meetings of our other city commissions, to keep up to date on the work of the Council and city government, and to provide testimony advocating for policies that would improve the lives of Winooski residents.

Bryn has shown she clearly cares deeply about the actual work required to serve our city on Council.”

Kaitlin Hayes, former Winooski Development Review Board Commissioner

“Having known Bryn both personally and professionally for close to a decade, I was thrilled when she decided to run for City Council. Bryn has been a long-time participant in the public process. She will bring her dedication and experiences to the Council in a time when hard work is needed to make and keep progress in the areas of social equity and inclusion, housing equality, environmental improvements, and tax rate concerns.”

Amy Lafayette, former Winooski City Councilor

“Bryn is deeply committed and involved in Winooski. She understands housing from multiple perspectives, starting as a renter in Winooski and now as a homeowner.”

Greer Krembs, 10+ year Vermont public school teacher

“Bryn is extremely well qualified from her education and professional experience with law and policy. She is very knowledgeable and is the person I turn to with questions about local and state policies.

She role models civic engagement and encourages participation by spreading the word about Winooski volunteer opportunities, participating in Winooski surveys, and important local votes and meetings. Bryn is dedicated and works hard for what she believes is important and she cares deeply about this town.”

Shanna Cullinane, Senior Research Chemist

“She is committed to real change, and has the experience and knowledge to create it. She understands the implications of decision-making when there's not diverse representation at the table. Bryn is an activist. She educates herself on social, racial, and equity issues, and understands that we collectively need to do more to make Winooski an affordable city, where all residents feel represented and supported.”
