Listening first. A practical, local voice for Pittsford and Proctor in Montpelier.

I’d appreciate your vote.

Alicia Malay
Her approach
“My approach to public service is rooted in listening to the people I represent.”

Understanding how decisions made in Montpelier affect our towns, and bringing a practical local perspective to the Legislature. I’m running for re-election because I want to continue working on the issues I hear about every day in Pittsford and Proctor.

What she hears about every day
  • Affordability
  • Property taxes
  • Education
  • Public safety
  • Housing
  • Economic opportunity
  • Character of our communities

Priorities

In her words

01Education

Strong local schools

As a mother of three sons who have attended, and continue to attend, our local schools, I understand how important those schools are to families and to the identity of our communities.

We should work to preserve strong local schools and meaningful local control while also finding smarter ways to reduce costs, streamline administration, and direct more education dollars where they belong: into classrooms and toward students.

02Affordability · Housing · Property taxes

A Vermont the next generation can afford

Like so many parents, I want my three sons to have the opportunity to build their lives here in Vermont.

That means tackling the rising cost of housing, property taxes, and everyday expenses so that young people, working families, and longtime Vermonters are not priced out of the communities they call home.

“Vermont should be a place where the next generation can afford to stay, work, raise families, and put down roots.”

Now law · Act 89H.626 · Co-sponsor

Protecting Vermonters from sextortion & AI-generated abuse

Alicia co-sponsored H.626 and presented it to the full House for the Judiciary Committee on February 4, 2026 — and again on April 21, when the House accepted a Senate amendment adding tougher penalties for voyeurism against minors. Judiciary voted 10-0-1 both times.

New
Sextortion is now a crime: a 3-year felony, 10 years if the victim is a minor, 15 years if serious injury or death results.
40 yrs
Prosecutors have 40 years to bring charges.
No limit
Victims can sue, with no time limit.
“
Once an image is shared online, it can spread instantly and be nearly impossible to remove… Tragically, image based abuse disproportionately affects young people and can shape the rest of their lives. As technology advances, it is essential that our laws be updated to protect Vermonters in this new reality.

Now law · Act 165H.937 · Mar 24, 2026

Crime victims’ right to know

Helped pass. Alicia presented the section requiring police to tell victims where a defendant is held, whether he’s been released, and how to sign up for automatic release alerts. Signed June 18, 2026.

Public safety · S.193 · May 15, 2026

A forensic facility for Vermont

“The status quo, what’s currently happening in Vermont, is just unacceptable and unsustainable. And so the fact that we are moving this along is a huge accomplishment.”

Spending & local control

Realistic budgets, local decisions

“The budget was reasonable enough for the Governor to sign, but it’s doubled over the last 15 years. That’s not realistic.”

“I believe in local control of school finance.”
