Kay Randall has devoted her over 60 years in Vermont to service in the best interests of some of the most vulnerable groups in the state. From years being a foster parent, working as in home care for senior citizens, and working in the Special Education system doing her best to give upward mobility to students who are starting off on the back foot Kay has always cared deeply for those who need it most. All of this life experience means that she will never push for something that isn't a value add for all members of a community.
