State Rep. Monique Priestley, D-Bradford, has been named one of 20 recipients of the 20 Under 40 Leadership Award by the Council of State Governments.
The 20 Under 40 awards program was launched in 2020, inspired by the vision of New Hampshire Sen. Lou D’Allesandro, a devoted public servant of more than 50 years. Awardees are selected from a competitive pool of national applicants under 40 years old, based on their bipartisan work, leadership and work within a specific policy area.
“I’m honored to be recognized alongside such passionate and dedicated leaders,” Priestley said. “Public service is about creating systems that empower communities, protect rights and inspire hope. I’m committed to ensuring that our collective efforts in Vermont and beyond lead to meaningful, lasting change.”
