NEWPORT CITY – Mayor Paul Monette is seeking a seat at the House of Representatives in Montpelier. Monette is running as an Independent.
“The time is right,” said Monette. “I feel we need some changes, some new blood in Montpelier.”
Monette feels he can bring some new ideas and thoughts to the Statehouse. He’s running as an Independent because he’s never belonged to a political party and feels the two party system isn’t working well.Â
“You need it more at the national level,” he said. “I think people forget they should compromise.”
