“Ward has my support because he understands the challenges facing Vermont communities and has earned the trust of colleagues, law enforcement professionals, advocates, and community members through years of dedicated service. He has shown his commitment to pursuing fair outcomes that strengthen public trust in the justice system.”
—Senator Peter Welch,
U.S. Senator for Vermont
“Working with Attorney Goodenough has been a positive, collaborative experience. He regularly checks in with Springfield Police Department members to ensure communication and case prosecution procedures are clear and understood.
Attorney Goodenough has also extended the collaborative efforts through the Springfield Project ACTION group of social service providers. Together, we were able to apply for—and were awarded—a federal COSSUP (Comprehensive Opioid, Stimulant, and Substance Use Program) grant through the Reaching Rural initiative.
I look forward to continued partnerships with Attorney Goodenough as we continue to impact Springfield and Windsor County in a positive way.”
—Police Chief Jeff Burnham,
Springfield, VT
“Ward understands that ‘access to justice’ is impacted by an individual’s identity, background, and prior experience with the criminal justice system. This fundamental understanding is incredibly important for our county’s State’s Attorney to have and is key to my support of Ward!”
—Kevin “Coach” Christie,
Vermont State Representative
Windsor-6
