Guilford resident & Guilford Central School teacher

Emma Hallowell


"Sara has represented the towns of Guilford and Vernon since 2018, and in her work at the State House she always has the best interests of our residents here in Southern Vermont in mind. ... [She] has supported important legislative efforts to address the inequity that exists in our early childhood educational system. ...We need Sara to continue her work supporting Vermont families and teachers. I urge Guilford and Vernon voters to vote for Sara Coffey in November to re-elect her as our State Representative."

"In my line of work I understand how important it is for people to talk with each other and sit together in community. Sara has done exactly that these past two terms and I hope you will join me in sending her for a third term. As storms intensify and temperatures of 70 degrees in late October are becoming more frequent, I am grateful for Sara’s championing of climate and backing policies that address climate change."

Former Guilford Select Board Chair

Anne Rider


"In Montpelier, Sara has gained tremendous respect from her colleagues. She is moving into leadership roles in her committee assignments and proving herself to be a straight-shooter in all interactions. Her perspective, intelligence, pragmatism and willingness to work across the aisle are traits that are evident to all who work with her. They also LIKE her; she’s warm, has a great laugh and really enjoys people and her work with them!

Please join me in re-electing Sara Coffey as the Windham-1 representative. She is a doer, a communicator and she cares deeply about our towns."

"Over 12 years, I’ve known Sara Coffey in many roles: visionary arts colleague, community organizer, civic leader, public servant, and dear friend. Sara brings these qualities — honesty, compassion, dedication, stamina, humility, curiosity, and humor — to all she does. She listens to everyone and respects differences. When she takes on a project, she sees the big picture and finds the way forward. She is down-to-earth and in it for the long haul. She wants you to be there with her, working together, laughing whenever possible. In divisive times, Sara Coffey is here for all of us."
