About

Meet Dr. Hunt

Elizabeth Hunt is a mother, wife, pediatrician, and community member running for Vermont State Senate as a Democrat to protect what matters most: family, freedom, and our future. Dr. Hunt believes we can move beyond division by listening to one another, spending time together, and building solutions rooted in our shared values. Respect, integrity, and service guide her work in medicine and in life.

Abe Berman (he/him)
CFO, Tapestry Health

I’ve had the privilege of meeting and partnering with Dr. Hunt through our shared efforts to strengthen Vermont’s healthcare system—improving quality, expanding access and affordability, and ensuring long‑term sustainability for providers across the state. In every setting, she has shown the same qualities that Vermont needs in public service:

integrity, intellect, positive energy, and genuine compassion.

Dr. Hunt truly listens to others, thoughtfully considers her positions, and demonstrates a heartfelt commitment to doing what is right, even if it's challenging. She understands the realities facing Vermonters, whether they be patients, business owners, working families, and/or healthcare professionals because she has lived them. And she brings the rare combination of practical experience and principled leadership that is essential in state government.

Vermont is at an inflection point. We need leaders who can listen to their constituents, navigate complexity, build consensus, and keep people at the center of every decision. Dr. Hunt is that kind of leader, and I’m proud to support her.

I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Elizabeth Hunt on the "A Vermont Story" project focused on adolescent mental health, and I’ve seen firsthand her deep commitment to educating and empowering our communities. Elizabeth leads with compassion, listens with intention, and works tirelessly to ensure every young person in Vermont feels seen, supported, and valued.

Dr. Elizabeth Hunt is not a professional politician. She is a pediatrician who takes care of the children in our community. She knows where our health care system is broken and she is determined to try and fix it. There has not been a physician elected to the Vermont senate in 45 years—and the time is now. Dr. Hunt has my full endorsement for the state senate.

A Closer Look

The Long Game: Why Vermont Needs to Invest in Recreation

Community recreation can be a lifeline in a largely rural, cold-climate state like Vermont. Getting outside in winter, connecting with neighbors year-round, moving your body, and learning skills like swimming—these things keep us mentally and physically healthy. Much of the U.S. runs on a "pay to play" foundation, with the burden of cost on individuals and families. But Vermonters have always done things differently—we love to get outside, and Montpelier should prioritize bri

Pull One Thread: How Systems Thinking Can Transform Vermont

Have you ever noticed how everything in a community is connected? Pull one thread and the whole fabric shifts. To see, ponder, and respect systems means understanding community needs from all perspectives—recognizing the gaps, the opportunities, and the connections that others might miss. This is systems thinking. I have always been a systems thinker. As a working mother, small business owner, pediatrician, and community advocate, I see common threads everywhere. I look at th

Students Deserve Better. So Do Taxpayers.

As the school year closes and I watch my oldest son graduate high school, I find myself reflecting on our shared responsibility—as parents, educators, and community members—to prepare young people for the future. It is our primary job to ensure they are healthy, capable humans ready to move forward in their education and in the workforce. The cost of education in Vermont has become untenable for many property taxpayers. Declining enrollment and rising health insurance costs a

Former Charlotte Select Board member and Associate Director at Human Rights Watch

With more than twenty years of caring for our state’s families, Dr. Hunt knows firsthand the strains on our healthcare system, the pressures on working parents, and the real costs of kicking solutions down the road. Unlike some the career politicians who represent us now, she brings the perspective of a frontline clinician who sees patients every day. She is speaking from experience when she talks about children with mental health needs, families struggling with insurance costs, and communities wrestling with an aging population and workforce shortages. She is not just shouting the popular slogans of the day. Instead, she advocates for responsible housing growth, stronger support for childcare and education, lower healthcare costs through better primary care investment, and practical solutions that can keep people here in the state.

Ashley Garneau (she/her)
Nurse Manager, Timberlane Pediatrics

Dr. Hunt has been an invaluable part of our team—not only for her clinical expertise, but for her unwavering commitment to those around her. I have had the honor to work with her for the past 15 years. She consistently takes the time to teach, mentor, and support her colleagues, fostering an environment where everyone can grow. She has never been too busy to explain medical conditions and educate us when new things come in that we may not have seen in the past. Her dedication to improving pediatric care is evident in everything she does, always seeking better outcomes for her patients and stronger systems for our community. We are better because of her leadership, compassion, and vision.
