MOMS Demand Action for Gun Sense
Gabrielle Stebbins, Vermont House Representative and Senior Consultant at the Energy Futures Group
“Bram brings a lens to policy work that is not only rare, it’s deeply needed. For Vermonters to flourish, we need business to succeed in a healthy economy, we need equity in how we treat one another, we need wise, sustainable tax policy, and we need to prepare Vermonters for climate change impacts while reducing our unsustainable patterns of living. Bram brings all of this – and more – to how he sees, thinks and acts. I couldn’t be more excited to pass the torch – voters willing – to Bram.”
Howard Dean, MD, former six-term Governor and long-time health care advocate
“Bram understands health care and how to get the costs stable while making it available to all Vermonters. He will be a great addition to the Vermont House and I’m looking forward to voting for him.”
Meg Smith, immediate past Executive Director of the Vermont Women's Fund
“Vermont will be well served with Bram Kleppner’s leadership in the Statehouse. His longtime business experience gives him the perspective we need to promote economic development while keeping important issues like climate change in the forefront. Bram is a champion of gender equity and understands that our success depends on all of us, not just some of us. Bram’s compassion and authenticity will make him an excellent representative!”
David Deen, award-winning environmentalist, retired with 26 years of leadership in the VT legislature, including chairing the Fish & Wildlife and Natural Resources & Energy committees, member of the Vermont Climate Council.
"Bram is smart, hard working, cooperative, attuned to the issues facing Vermont, and determined but pleasant and nonconfrontational over important matters. I think Bram will be a valuable asset for the VT House, an institution I value so I gladly endorse him."
Mattison, Tech Entrepreneur, Non-profit Leader, Mayoral Candidate
"There are two VT House seats in our district, and my first endorsement goes to our excellent incumbent, Tiff Bluemly. There are three candidates running for the second seat that Gabrielle Stebbins is vacating. Gabrielle endorsed Bram Kleppner to succeed her, and I agree. I believe Tiff and Bram will be an outstanding team, and will give our district an exceptionally strong VT House delegation. I’m honored and energized to endorse Bram for the second seat from our district.."
Bill Ryerson, Founder and President, Population Media Center*
"Bram is a feminist through and through and provided extraordinary leadership to our Board for many years. His ability to see right to the heart of the issue and to lead a group to common ground helped us grow and improve as a Board and as an organization and kept our focus on moving toward our vision of a sustainable planet with equal rights for all. Bram is a person of intellect, integrity, and action. We need to elect experienced and respected leaders committed to improving our lives and communities. For this reason, I strongly urge you to vote for Bram Kleppner as your state representative in the upcoming election."
