Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy. Many are struggling to make ends meet amid rising health care costs, draconian Trump tariffs, and growing public safety issues.&nbsp;Nikhil’s health care proposals will help reduce costs for employers. He supports strengthening procurement policies to support local economies and making it easier for entrepreneurs to get capital to start businesses.&nbsp;He is also a strong critic of Amazon and other corporations that suppress competition and undermine small businesses and entrepreneurs.&nbsp;

Write a little something about your issue here. You can only write about a paragraph here, but you can turn on an option to create full issues pages on the options sidebar of the issues page.

Support Our Small Businesses and Entrepreneurs

Growing rents and mortgages are making life too expensive. Nikhil believes that we cannot solve our health care, property tax, and workforce challenges without solving housing affordability. More than half of renters and nearly a quarter of homeowners in Chittenden County are cost burdened. Homelessness has more than doubled in the past few years. Vermont needs to create at least 24,000 new homes to keep up with demand. The simple truth is that we need to build many more homes to control rents, expand homeownership, and make it easier for young people to raise a family and seniors to downsize and retire with dignity.We need both public and market-oriented solutions to the housing crisis. Nikhil fights to build all types of affordable housing in our downtowns to create dense, walkable neighborhoods. The longtime efforts of the Champlain Housing Trust in creating publicly-subsidized permanently affordable housing is an excellent model for our state. We should explore other state investments in social housing, similar to the <a href="https://www.americanprogress.org/article/a-new-vision-for-social-housing-in-america/">Vienna</a> model.&nbsp;Nikhil supports reforms to the permit review process to speed up and reduce the costs of housing development while protecting the natural environment and character of Vermont.&nbsp;Nikhil supports more funding for home repair programs that help low- and middle-income homeowners weatherize, modernize, and rehabilitate their homes for energy efficiency.&nbsp;Burlington, Winooski, and Essex residents overwhelmingly approved just cause evictions ballot measures. This prevents tenants from being evicted for “no cause,” while still allowing landlords to evict tenants who do not pay their rent and violate their leases. Governor Phil Scott vetoed the charter change. As your State Senator, Nikhil will fight to enact just cause eviction policy.Nikhil supports the University of Vermont Student Tenant Union, which has been working tirelessly to expose and improve deplorable conditions in student accommodations and find solutions to the growing housing crisis in Burlington. UVM must rehabilitate and modernize student housing and follow the city housing code. Every UVM student deserves safe, accessible, and dignified housing.

He loves that Vermont is home to so many immigrants and refugees who contribute to our economy and way of life.&nbsp;Abolishing ICE is the conservative position. It is time to prosecute ICE. When Mohsen and Rümeysa and immigrant farmworkers and construction workers were kidnapped by ICE, he spoke up at rallies in their defense.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/44dc9aaf-252e-4685-9f6e-bd0e5260567c/60d3fe06-7762-4111-8a0e-fcd43d3530f8/60d3fe06-7762-4111-8a0e-fcd43d3530f8.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C71%2C2960%2C1603&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="45" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">When the Trump administration announced a new ICE surveillance center in Williston, he joined fellow Vermonters to protest.

Defend Our Immigrant Neighbors

We deserve to walk down the street without fear of harassment or bodily harm. As a criminal justice expert and prison educator, Nikhil has dedicated his career to strengthening public safety and expanding educational and economic opportunities that address the root causes of crime.&nbsp;<img src="https://run.imgix.net/44dc9aaf-252e-4685-9f6e-bd0e5260567c/4f2038e4-64ad-4eb9-81e2-9fb4f8b45b1a/4f2038e4-64ad-4eb9-81e2-9fb4f8b45b1a.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=302%2C147%2C1610%2C1218&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">Nikhil taught sociology classes for incarcerated men at a medium-security prison in New York State through New York University’s Prison Education Program. He strongly supports and will work to expand the Vermont Corrections Post-Secondary Education Initiative, which provides tuition-free community college to incarcerated students and correctional staff in our state prisons and extends the benefit to children and spouses of correctional staff. College-in-prison is one of the most effective programs to reduce recidivism and provide people leaving from prison with the credentials and skills necessary to reintegrate, find a job, and desist from crime.&nbsp;A small minority of people are committing the vast majority of crimes, and many of them are experiencing homelessness, substance abuse, and mental illness. Our small businesses are reeling from exploding rates of retail theft and quality-of-life offenses. This cannot go on.&nbsp;Nikhil has a smart-on-crime plan to make our communities safer:<ul><li>The new Chittenden County Community Accountability Court designed to reduce the court backlog and deliver speedy justice is long overdue.</li><li>Target interventions and resources at repeat offenders. Some chronic offenders who are repeatedly harming themselves or the safety of the public and refusing treatment, may need to be held in secure confinement. That should be the last resort, because incarceration is expensive and ineffective at deterring crime. &nbsp;</li><li>Expand our Raise the Age law to emerging young adults so more youth can get rehabilitative treatment, such as restorative justice, in the juvenile system. One study found that the juvenile system's recidivism rate was nearly half of that of the adult system. We must also finally provide the Department for Children and Families with adequate resources and staffing to carry out this important work.&nbsp;</li><li>Implement cognitive behavioral therapy, functional family therapy, and multisystemic therapy—all evidence-based treatment options found to significantly reduce crime and far cheaper than throwing a person in jail or prison. Expanding summer, afterschool, and jobs programs and keeping school buildings open for activities during the evening and weekend hours are also essential.&nbsp;</li><li>Establish an overdose prevention center. Once it is set up, people can consume illicit drugs safely under the supervision of trained medical staff. If they consume drugs anywhere else in public, they should face swift and sharp consequences. Our children deserve to play in City Hall Park without fear of getting pricked by a needle.&nbsp;</li><li>Expand treatment for substance use disorder, particularly long-term care.&nbsp;</li><li>Enact additional gun-safety measures, such as banning assault-style weapons as well as banning firearms in bars.&nbsp;</li></ul>

Strengthen Public Safety and Tackle Gun Violence

Climate change poses an existential threat to all life on this planet, and we must respond decisively.We all deserve clean air and water and a healthy, habitable planet. The effort to clean up Lake Champlain has been ongoing for decades, and Nikhil supports bold action to reduce phosphorous pollution in order to improve water quality, health, and tourism.&nbsp;We spend more than $2 billion annually on fossil fuels—more than 75 percent of which leaves the Vermont economy.By investing in electrification, energy efficiency, battery storage, weatherization, electric vehicle chargers, and restoring wetlands, we can keep more of our dollars in the Vermont economy, create thousands of living-wage jobs, cut energy bills, improve flood resilience, and make progress on our climate goals.&nbsp;Nikhil calls on all new commercial buildings to be solar-ready and new residential and commercial buildings with parking to include electric vehicle charging stations.Nikhil supports bringing catamounts back to Vermont and working towards creating a national park in the state to ensure permanent conservation of land.

Protect Our Environment

Vermonters are paying the highest health care premiums in the country. Health care costs in school budgets are the single biggest driver of skyrocketing property taxes. It’s only going to get worse with the Trump administration’s One, Big, Beautiful Bill. The legislation is throwing some 45,000 Vermonters off of Medicaid and more than doubling premiums for 30,000 Vermonters. This is an absolute catastrophe for our hospitals, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), Planned Parenthood clinics, and health care workforce, and it is time to fight back.Nikhil fights for property tax relief by curbing runaway health care spending. Patients at the University of Vermont Medical Center are being charged thousands of dollars more for care than patients at nearby hospitals, while health care executives are making millions of dollars in salaries and bonuses. This must end. Nikhil has been a champion of reference-based pricing and will work to ensure the legislation is a success.&nbsp;<img src="https://run.imgix.net/44dc9aaf-252e-4685-9f6e-bd0e5260567c/6a4cafd0-39e6-4677-8d5c-037a33718711/6a4cafd0-39e6-4677-8d5c-037a33718711.jpg?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C5184%2C3456&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">Health care should be a universal, public good guaranteed for every American. We deserve a federal Medicare for All, single-payer, universal health care system with zero copays, premiums, and deductibles, but we need not wait for Washington to make structural changes to Vermont’s health care system. Nikhil will fight for universal, publicly-funded primary care for all Vermonters as a first step in creating universal health care for all Vermonters. This includes mental health and substance abuse treatment as well as community nurses in every town. By removing the unnecessary and costly insurance middleman, this program will cut the cost of health care, reduce the risk of diseases and disabilities, improve health outcomes and life expectancy, and save lives.&nbsp;Nikhil also fights to protect our FQHCs and make investments in community-based care and wraparound health supports in public schools and child care centers.&nbsp;He also fights to crack down on price-gouging, protect Planned Parenthood and reproductive rights, expand pipelines into nursing and other critical fields, improve working conditions for staff, ban private equity from buying up nursing homes, and hold the UVM Health Network accountable to the mission of high-quality, affordable health care for all patients.&nbsp;

Universal Health Care for Vermonters

In 2024, Vermont passed a ban on cellphones in schools. This was a crucial first step. Social media is a public health emergency. Unaccountable tech companies are exploiting our children for profit and driving them to self-harm, depression, suicide, and other mental health challenges. Nikhil calls on Vermont to impose a ban on social media for children under the age of 16, following the lead of Australia. It’s time to take back control for the sake of our children’s health and well-being.&nbsp;Nikhil supports a moratorium on new data centers in Vermont. We need to enact clear guardrails for artificial intelligence that protect workers, students, power grids, and the public at large.

Ban Social Media for Kids

As an educator, policymaker, and author, Nikhil has been fighting for public education his entire career. He opposed the passage of Vermont's new education reform law, Act 73, which is designed to take millions of dollars out of the Burlington, Winooski, and Essex schools. There is no empirical evidence these reforms will reduce property taxes or improve our schools.&nbsp;<img src="https://run.imgix.net/44dc9aaf-252e-4685-9f6e-bd0e5260567c/044df169-907f-4b31-8dbf-8651cd001584/044df169-907f-4b31-8dbf-8651cd001584.heic?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=96%2C160%2C2372%2C2009&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="Nikhil with Vermont-NEA President Don Tinney" align="left" alignwidth="50" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">Nikhil with Vermont-NEA President Don TinneyNikhil supports the recommendations of the School District Redistricting Task Force to reduce costs: voluntary district mergers and shared services such as transportation and special education.&nbsp;Public dollars going to private schools, especially discriminatory religious schools, has grown nearly 90 percent since 2009. Nikhil fights to keep public dollars in public schools, protect universal, free school meals, make investments in community schools and health and social supports that ensure children’s basic needs are met, and make nature-based, outdoor education a universal experience for our children.In recent years, Vermont has made historic investments in child care. Nikhil is a champion of universal child care.The Legislature has taken some steps to change the property tax classification for second homes. Nikhil strongly supports taxing second homes more to help reduce homestead property taxes.<img src="https://run.imgix.net/44dc9aaf-252e-4685-9f6e-bd0e5260567c/b45e5674-a2ef-4e65-98fa-f6c1865077ee/b45e5674-a2ef-4e65-98fa-f6c1865077ee.png?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C1720%2C976&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="center" alignwidth="30" variant="framed">

Green Mountain Transit is facing a major fiscal crisis, forcing the agency to reduce services. As your State Senator, Nikhil will work with lawmakers to create a sustainable funding plan for public transit. Nikhil will also seek to expand car-sharing programs to reduce car dependence.&nbsp;Nikhil believes we need to expand our political imagination of what is possible. He fights to restore passenger rail service from Burlington to Montreal to drive economic development and tourism and will work with federal, state, and local partners on a plan of action.

Support Public Transit

Vermont is one of the oldest states in the nation. According to a <a href="https://www.healthvermont.gov/sites/default/files/document/hsi-factsheet-healthy-aging-in-vermont.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">recent brief</a>, "nearly one in three Vermont residents are age 60 or older." And we're aging fast.Many older Vermonters are enduring economic hardship, health challenges, hunger, and social isolation and loneliness. Those who live on a fixed income are often struggling to afford the rent, mortgage payments, energy bills, health insurance, and prescription drugs.Our older Vermonters deserve to retire with dignity. Nikhil will always defend Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid and support federal efforts to expand these programs.My affordability agenda champions the needs of older Vermonters. For example, fixing the housing crisis will allow older Vermonters to downsize into affordable houses and apartments, freeing up housing for families.Nikhil is also a strong supporter of intergenerational child and adult care centers and has served on the board of Generations Vermont, which is working to establish such a program in central Vermont.
