Meet Michael Hoyt

Your candidate for Windsor 4

M. Hoyt_Brick_1.jpg

Lifelong Vermonter and dedicated Public Servant

I grew up in Norwich and have lived in the Upper Valley my entire life, except for my years at UVM and at law school in Tennessee. I have worked as an attorney for the Vermont Legislature, drafting bills and staffing committees, and as an Attorney for the Vermont Department of Labor where I worked to combat wage theft.

​

My wife Natalie and I moved to West Hartford in 2018. I served five years on the Hartford Selectboard, including three as Chair, during a difficult and transitional time in Hartford. I was very proud that in my last year through careful budget and new revenue from our local option sales tax, our Town budget represented only a 0.8% tax increase.

​

In December 2025, I was appointed to fill the seat of resigning Representative Heather Surprenant. I was put on the Environment committee and supported reforms to 2024’s Act 181 that unfairly burdened rural Vermonters.

As Your Representative, I will work to:

  • Reduce the property tax burden and increase housing stock to make Vermont affordable.
     

  • Protect our working lands while encouraging development in places that have existing water, sewer, and transportation infrastructure.
     

  • Protect Vermonter’s civil liberties in an era of Federal overreach.
     

  • Support a statewide community nursing program.
     

  • Ensure that all Vermonters have the opportunity to thrive in our State.
