Cris Ericson: Non-Citizen Voting Controversy
Cris Ericson talks about a Winooski effort to allow non-citizen voting, which is now before the Court. Cris explains that she intentionally ends the video "with a subtle reminder, a drumbeat call to action, that it took Native American Indians many years to get the right to vote in the United States -- their land."

Cris just announced that she is running for the seat that U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy is retiring from. Look for her campaign announcement soon.
