Collaborative. Effective. Committed.
Vermont needs leaders like Elaine.
Vermont’s future depends on leaders who aren’t afraid of hard conversations and bold choices. Whether it’s education, healthcare, or housing, we need experienced people committed to finding realistic solutions to the challenges that are keeping Vermonters from achieving their dreams.
Leadership rooted in deep experience and persistence.
I know what it’s like to fight hard for what you believe in: your community, your business, yourself. I know what it’s like to win, and how it feels to lose.
Whether it’s overcoming a decades-long conflict to create Vermont’s newest city, facing down corporate competition as a small business owner, or coaching scores of women to step up to lead, I am a tried and tested leader who has persevered.
I’m running for Vermont Senate because our communities need a strong, experienced voice in Montpelier, one that understands what Vermonters are dealing with. I know we can achieve big goals through hard work, teamwork, and compromise. It’s time for leaders who are forward thinking and brave.
Watch Elaine’s launch
Elaine launched her campaign for Vermont Senate in early February at Boxcar Bakery, a woman-owned small business in Essex Junction, along with dozens of friends and supporters.
A commitment to public service—and making change
From helping neighbors solve everyday problems to guiding major community change, my work is rooted in collaboration, pragmatism, and a deep connection to the people I serve.
STANDING TOGETHER
Elaine is proud to be supported by community leaders, advocates, and neighbors throughout the Chittenden-Central district, from Burlington to Essex Town and beyond, who believe in steady leadership and real solutions.
“Effective leaders must possess humility, commitment, a love of community, a sincere desire to serve and the qualifications and proven track record to do the hard work and get things done.
Let’s face it – we are living at a time when politics feels hyper-polarized and progress can feel out of reach. Right now, in this moment, we need bold, fearless, and pragmatic leaders who have what it takes to move us forward. We need Elaine in the State Senate now!
Elaine is ready to bring her experience, her integrity, and her collaborative spirit to Montpelier.”
Karen Paul, Former Burlington City Council President
“I trust Elaine. I trust her to do the hard work, to follow through, and most importantly to listen. When Elaine commits to something, she brings her full energy and attention … What excites me most is Elaine's collaborative approach. I've seen firsthand how she brings people together, works through challenges, and keeps her focus on practical solutions. I've been in Montpelier 10 years. I know what Montpelier needs and they need leaders with integrity, passion, and a willingness to do the work. And Elaine Haney embodies all of that.”
House Majority Leader Rep. Lori Houghton, CHI-22
Vermonters need change, and leaders who can make it happen.
This moment calls for leaders who will do the hard work, and I’m ready to take on the fight. I hope you'll join me in the work of building a successful future for Vermont.
