About

Meet Elizabeth

Elizabeth Hunt is a mother, wife, pediatrician, and community member running for Vermont State Senate as a Democrat to protect what matters most: family, freedom, and our future. Elizabeth believes we can move beyond division by listening to one another, spending time together, and building solutions rooted in our shared values. Respect, integrity, and service guide her work in medicine and in life.

For over two decades, Dr. Hunt has cared for children and families from every walk of life, supporting their physical and emotional well-being during life’s most vulnerable moments. That experience has shaped her belief that good policy begins with careful listening and real-world understanding. She will continue practicing medicine, bringing the voices of families directly with her to the State House.

Born in 1974 and raised in New Jersey, Elizabeth chose to make Vermont home in 2005. She and her husband, Jesse, are raising three sons—her proudest accomplishment—and are deeply invested in the future of our communities. Elizabeth is running to ensure affordable health care, strong public schools, and the preservation of our open lands and natural beauty. She believes we can protect our freedoms, strengthen our families, and safeguard the green spaces that define our way of life—together.

I’ve had the privilege of meeting and partnering with Dr. Hunt through our shared efforts to strengthen Vermont’s healthcare system—improving quality, expanding access and affordability, and ensuring long‑term sustainability for providers across the state. In every setting, she has shown the same qualities that Vermont needs in public service:

integrity, intellect, positive energy, and genuine compassion.

Dr. Hunt truly listens to others, thoughtfully considers her positions, and demonstrates a heartfelt commitment to doing what is right, even if it's challenging. She understands the realities facing Vermonters, whether they be patients, business owners, working families, and/or healthcare professionals because she has lived them. And she brings the rare combination of practical experience and principled leadership that is essential in state government.

Vermont is at an inflection point. We need leaders who can listen to their constituents, navigate complexity, build consensus, and keep people at the center of every decision. Dr. Hunt is that kind of leader, and I’m proud to support her.

A Closer Look

Gone Guys: The Quiet Crisis Facing Our Boys

As I watched Gone Guys in the Champlain Valley Union High School auditorium with a group of men's mental-health club members, educational advocates, and other parents, the sighs just kept coming. Seeing vulnerable, thoughtful young boys reflect on their despair—with no one to talk to, no place to go, and no conceivable future—brought big, deep breaths from everyone in the room. The riveted audience and an awesome panel—composed of Superintendent and mental-health champion Ada

The Phone Free Schools Movement and Why It Matters

"Put your phone down," a common refrain among parents, has never been more urgent than in 2026. As a society, Americans embraced technology rapidly, with smartphone ownership surpassing 50% by 2013. Since then, we have enabled our young people—all the way down to elementary school—to spend far too much time on their phones. This consumer and cultural phenomenon got out of control for our youth too quickly, and it has undoubtedly affected their health. As a pediatrician, I see

Taxing Our Vices: A Path to Healthier Vermonters

Nicotine is a highly addictive substance and is readily available to people of all ages, including children. It easily enters the bloodstream and often starts a lifelong battle with chemical dependence. Americans living below the poverty line are more than twice as likely to be dependent on nicotine; for cannabis, they are three times more likely to be daily users.

Dr. Elizabeth Hunt is not a professional politician. She is a pediatrician who takes care of the children in our community. She knows where our health care system is broken and she is determined to try and fix it. There has not been a physician elected to the Vermont senate in 45 years—and the time is now. Dr. Hunt has my full endorsement for the state senate.

Dr. Hunt has been an invaluable part of our team—not only for her clinical expertise, but for her unwavering commitment to those around her. I have had the honor to work with her for the past 15 years. She consistently takes the time to teach, mentor, and support her colleagues, fostering an environment where everyone can grow. She has never been too busy to explain medical conditions and educate us when new things come in that we may not have seen in the past. Her dedication to improving pediatric care is evident in everything she does, always seeking better outcomes for her patients and stronger systems for our community. We are better because of her leadership, compassion, and vision.
