"I’ve known Dr. Hunt for many years, and I know she will be an outstanding addition to the senate. It would be hard to beat her combination of intellect, experience, and people skills. She is who I want representing our district." —Charity Clark, Vermont Attorney General

Wendy S. Davis, MD FAAP

"I met Dr. Elizabeth Hunt during her residency training in the UVM Department of Pediatrics/Children’s Hospital and have worked alongside her as a pediatric colleague since her return to Vermont in 2011. She is a dedicated, thoughtful, and compassionate physician who effectively applies the skills honed in the pediatric arena to crafting sound public policy to support all of Vermont’s children, youth, and families. I have admired her approach to tackling issues such as improv

In the News

In Chittenden Southeast Senate primary, incumbents and challengers alike pivot platforms to affordability

"Hunt, the pediatrician ... believes the steep healthcare-related affordability challenges facing Vermont require a new perspective. She has seen the concern firsthand while working with children and families, an experience that she said pushed her to run. To address healthcare costs, she’s proposed an examination of the Green Mountain Care Board, the state’s main healthcare regulator, to audit how money is spent by the board and how it can be more effective, as well as expan

Vermont Senate Democrats facing stiff challenges in own party primary

"Hunt said the healthcare reform work taking place in Montpelier lacks the 'technical understanding and expertise' that a provider like her can deliver. “'I think leadership in healthcare is in a vacuum state right now,' she said." Read the rest of the article in Vermont Public (August 4, 2026).

Candidates talk policy, politics as primary approaches

"Vermont is at a crossroads with health care cost and access connecting us all; I would start here with my physician expertise. After years working closely with families, schools and community systems, I’ve seen how deeply our economy and local budgets are being strained." —Elizabeth Hunt Read the rest of what Elizabeth and her opponents have to say in the Shelburne News (July 30, 2026).

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
