#WhiteNoseSyndrome poses the biggest threat to Vermont’s 9 species of bats, including a 90% decline in the brown bat population since the disease’s discovery. Cooperative efforts like the model in Vermont are necessary to work toward their recovery. #BatWeek2018pic.twitter.com/0y76QldFXe

It’s #BatWeek2018, and I’m proud to continue fighting for the resources necessary to understand & combat #WhiteNoseSyndrome threatening bat populations in #VT & around the country. Vermont’s bats contribute to the agriculture, biodiversity and healthy ecosystems we know and love.pic.twitter.com/s2YUjYBRee

Scenes from workshops at today’s #LeahyWEOC. It’s exciting to see so many people engaged at the many interesting and practical workshops today.pic.twitter.com/EoLCVtp8OZ

Marcelle and I have lent our voices to lift up the stories of women who are coming forward after all these years. I plan on continuing my work in and outside the Senate to support Vermont women. #LeahyWEOCpic.twitter.com/ut89FzXefy

Corinne Prevot delivered this year’s #LeahyWEOC keynote. Marcelle and I enjoyed the speech from this young Vermont entrepreneur.pic.twitter.com/VNGVUhvfUD

#LeahyWEOC continues to offer practical advice for women to further careers and launch businesses. In the past two year we have learned so much about how sexual assault and harassment victimizes too many women, and this conference has evolved to address those issues too.pic.twitter.com/6ugePb1yBm

It has been 22 years since the first #LeahyWEOC, but women are dealing with many of the same issues of “financial security, pay equity and balancing careers” addressed at that first conference. Marcelle and I believe that we cannot take one step backward on these issues.pic.twitter.com/1LdZHQk8ia

Today is the 22nd annual #LeahyWEOC. This year we have more than 400 attendees & 24 seminars, a second year of partnership with @ChangestoryVT and an exciting keynote from Corinne Prevot.pic.twitter.com/brW90iQ3Dz

Proud to announce a $31m. GEAR UP grant to @VSAC to help low income and 1st-gen Vermont students get postsecondary education. This & other higher ed. resources are high priorities for me as Vice Chair of Appropriations. Students from Winooski and Colchester are with us.pic.twitter.com/mYtw5oHY4N

.@TomTolesToons drives home what scientists have long known: Climate change is real, and so are the devastating consequences.

I’m an original cosponsor of @SenatorBaldwin’s CRA to stop the Trump admin’s junk insurance plans. These plans can deny coverage to Vermonters with pre-existing conditions. Even worse, they can worsen the opioid crisis. At 11:30, I’ll be voting for #NoJunkPlanspic.twitter.com/00f22wMIxN
