The 2023–2024 legislative biennium begins on Wednesday, January 4 with a swearing-in ceremony at the Vermont statehouse. Speaker Jill Krowinski will announce committee assignments for all members that day.

The first session of the biennium will adjourn sometime in May. During the session, we're in Montpelier every Tuesday through Friday and at home every Saturday through Monday, with a one-week break over Town Meeting week in March. This year’s session will be held in person at the statehouse. As in recent years, all floor sessions and committee meetings will be live-streamed and archived for public viewing on the Vermont General Assembly website https://legislature.vermont.gov/.

I’ll hold regular constituent coffee hours during the upcoming session. Some will be held in person, while others will be held remotely on Zoom. On January 8th I will restart weekly office hours via zoom on Sundays at 4pm, you can join here https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82536080142?pwd=UGxDTU93Zk5mZWFadWpCM0IxUGJBUT09, and if you prefer to meet in-person, we’re hosting monthly meetings at the library on the second Saturday of the month at 10:30am with my fellow Brattleboro representatives, Tristan Toleno and Mollie Burke and State Senators, Nader Hashim and Wendy Harrison. I do hope you’ll join us on January 14th at 10:30am to hear about the first week of the session. These meetings are a great way to ask questions, raise concerns and stay informed about legislation.

Beyond these scheduled constituent meetings, it’s easy to connect. I work hard to represent all of you with transparency, integrity and accountability. Please stay in touch and reach out anytime with questions or concerns: I respond to all constituent emails ekornheiser@leg.state.vt.us as promptly as possible.
