The Campaign

My wife and I love living in Essex—but it’s clear that rising costs and limited housing are making it harder for families, seniors, and young people to stay.

I’m Noah Detzer. I’ve taught in Vermont public schools and currently work in communications at the Vermont Department of Health. In 2025, I was appointed to the Essex Housing Commission--which gave me experience in municipal government and an understanding of the problems we face.

I’m running for Selectboard to keep Essex affordable, to support our local businesses, bring more transparency to municipal government, and plan responsibly for our town’s future.

Our Vision

Priorities

Connected and Transparent

If elected, I will regularly update you on what happens on the Selectboard--and regularly solicit input on the issues that matter.

Affordability

One of the main reasons I wanted to run was to ensure that Essex is more affordable--and we invest in a sustainable community for our future and our children's future.

Creating a community where everyone feels connected and energized to participate.
