State Senator
Colchester & Grand Isle

Candidate

Meet Andy

Andy Julow was appointed to the Senate by Governor Phil Scott on May 21, 2024. He is running for a full term in the November 5th general election.

He grew up in the Lake Champlain Islands and currently lives there with his wife Corinn. In addition to being Senator, he is the Executive Director of the Lake Champlain Islands Economic Development Corporation and is the President of the Regional Development Corporations of Vermont. He owned his own business for eleven years and has served his town as the chair of the school board and development review board for a total of fourteen years.

  • School Funding: The current school funding system needs to be replaced. While well intentioned, the formula is 27 years old and designed for a tax base and school population that have changed dramatically. We need to start from scratch and build a system with a broad source of funding that meets the current challenges of our schools.
  • Healthcare and Equality: Healthcare needs to be accessible to all, women need to be in charge of their own care, and no one's opportunities should be limited by who they are or who they love.
  • Small Business: Vermont needs to expand its offerings for small business and entrepreneur support especially navigator services that help connect mutually supporting businesses in our rural areas.
  • It was an honor (and a delicious one) to be invited to the annual picnic and meeting of Island Pickleball.  I first began working with this group in my role as Executive Director of the Lake Champlain Islands Economic Development Corporation helping promote the economic impact of their organization and supporting their fundraising efforts. 

    They have raised funds to create four courts at Knight Point State Park, a win for their organization and visitors to the park but have run into some setbacks with getting their Act 250 permitting.  I have been advocating on their behalf with Forest Parks and Recreation for several weeks now and am pleased to see that progress is being made toward construction beginning this fall.








  • Another beautiful day for door-knocking and conversations with the community.  Thank you Representative Sarita Austin for joining me in the Bay tonight.  As a bonus, we got to watch the race and the sunset.








  • Had a great day of canvassing with our incredible treasurer, Julie Hulburd! Thank you to all the Westbury Park voters who chatted with us!
