Senator Peter Welch

I joined Governor Phil Scott in Sutton for the annual Maple Tree Tapping Ceremony, which kicks off Vermont's sugaring season. Our local maple industry is threatened by Trump’s trade war. I’ll do everything I can to fight for them.

The humanitarian work of UNRWA helps keep one of the most volatile regions in the world stable. That’s why I’ve introduced a bill alongside my colleagues to restore funding to UNRWA so the organization can resume its work combatting hunger and disease.

Canada and the US enjoy a vital economic relationship. Our panelists cautioned that tariffs don’t just impact trade, They impact jobs, businesses, and the trust between neighbors. We are grateful to our esteemed panelists for their insight and expertise during our webinar yesterday in helping us understand the complexities of these tariffs and what they mean for businesses, workers, and consumers. Thank you again Senator Peter Welch, Matthew Holmes, Chris DiPentima, and Derek Nighbor.

I’ve introduced legislation to restore funding to UNRWA. As Gaza recovers from the devastation of the war, reinstating this small amount of aid to the most effective organization in the region will save thousands of lives.

Gaza’s infrastructure has been destroyed. Food is scarce and disease is spreading. I’m introducing legislation that will restore funding to UNRWA, the only organization in the region with the ability to help Palestinians recover from devastation and live in dignity.

“The golden age of America.”

He's made fun of soldiers captured in war. He said that American servicemembers who died are “losers” and “suckers.” And now, President Trump is planning to fire 80,000 VA workers who help care for our veterans after their service is finished. It’s despicable.

Vermont businesses can’t afford a trade war.

If you live in Vermont, there’s a good chance your electricity or gas comes from Canada. Because of Trump’s trade war, your energy bills are about to go up.

Still better than JD Vance’s trip to Sugarbush.
