will continue to be an option for voters up until noon Nov. 5. Early and absentee ballots are available through the Williston Town Clerk’s office at 7900 Williston Road. Residents can register to vote on election day or before that through the Williston Town Clerk’s office or Vermont Secretary of State’s website: sec.state.vt.us. Thirteen statewide offices are

on the ballot, as well as six seats in the Vermont Senate representing Chittenden County. Locally, 21 people are running for 15 openings for justice of the peace, and four candidates are running for two seats representing Williston in the Vermont House of Representatives. The Williston Observer asked the House candidates — Republican challenger Joy Limoge, Inde-

pendent challenger Kathleen Orion and incumbent Democrats Terry Macaig and Jim McCullough — for responses to the following questions. Below are their responses (Orion did not respond). 1. DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL CONNECTION TO THE TOWN OF WILLISTON. LIMOGE: I have been blessed to call Williston my home for over 20 years and have immersed myself in all it offers. I still live in the fi rst home I ever bought! My children have been raised here and went through the Williston school system. I have had my law practice in Williston for 22 years, where I have had the pleasure of representing many residents and serving as counsel to many area businesses. I am a frequent sight on the bike path and trails of Williston and have attended numerous sporting events over the years. I have participated in the Williston Town Band, served on the planning commission and currently am in my second term on the selectboard. I am proud to be a part of the Williston community and call it home. MACAIG: I ask for your vote.

I have lived in Williston for 52 years and have over 40 years of commitment to the town, serving as a leader in Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Little League, girls softball, 27 years as town health officer, 17 years on the selectboard and 13 years as chair, nine years on the regional planning commission, 13 years as president of the Williston Historical Society and more as coordinator of the July 3 Ice Cream Social. I offer my voting record as your state representative on balancing the budgets, clean water and air protection, equal pay for equal work, economic development and jobs, renewable energy, promoting small business and consumer protection to mention only a few. MCCULLOUGH: I am a lifelong (so far) Williston resident here on my home farm, Catamount. I have served Williston since the 1960s on dozens of committees and commissions, including scoutmaster, planning commission, conservation commission, justice of the peace, and as your town meeting and school meeting moderator while J. Ward Johnson was ill. see CANDIDATes pAge 2
