• The council was debating zoning issues and the Democrats wanted to delay the discussion until after the new Democratic-controlled council was sworn in on April 6. Missing a comma before 'and'?

• The American Civil Liberties Union criticized Wright while Progressive councilors Ashe and Jane Knodell supported him. Berezniak made a complaint to the City Attorney Ken Schatz. Criticized for calling the police or in general noted critics of Wright?

• Do we know when he managed Kerry's Pizza?

The best I can do is add "and managed Kerry's Pizza in the 1980s." I can't really find anything else about it. Would this suffice?

Sure! —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 09:24, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• became a moderate conservative ----> became a moderate conservative by 2008 Note: The date when his position was reported. Do we have more recent opinions about his political position from 2010s?

Done in this edit and I added more stuff about his ideology in the 2010s in this edit.

• Consider merging some of the proposals with smaller coverage into one sentence and separate them by support/oppose (e.g for list of his support: In early 2000s, he voted in favor of anti-flag desecration legislation for the flag of the United States, supported the Iraq War, and sponsored anti-sanctuary city resolution for the city council). And consider switching some of the 'legislation in [year]' with '[year] legislation'

I think it is fine as is. The anti-sanctuary city resolution sentence is there since it is a part of an overall paragraph about immigration and citizenship.

Fair enough! —LastJabberwocky (Rrarr) 09:24, 26 January 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• Wright, starting in 2014, was the last Republican elected to the city council. N The 2018 says he's 'the last man standing' in the republican city council but it doesn't have info on 2018-2026 period
  • When Wright was first elected in 1995, he was one of five Republicans on the 14-member council. Those numbers have dwindled. In 2014, Republican councilor Paul Decelles stepped down and Wright returned to the council — the last man standing.

• as Federal Communications Commission would require him to leave his radio show for two months. Y
  • I co-host a radio show here in Burlington, Vermont area and there's FCC guidelines or rules that made it such that I was really going to have to leave the show that I do, which is my job, for basically two months. For January and February I would have to be off the show, off the air. And this show is still relatively new. It's only been on the air for, you know, about nine months.
• In 2015, Wright proposed legislation in the state house to prohibit strikes by teachers, but it failed by one vote. Y
  • In 2015, Burlington House Representative Kurt Wright introduced legislation to ban teacher strikes in Vermont. His proposal failed by one vote.
• At the time of his defeat he was the last Republican to represent Burlington in the state house. Y
  • He was the last remaining Republican to represent the Queen City in the House.
• He supported ... Marco Rubio during the 2016 presidential primaries Y
  • Wright admires Rubio's "uplifting message," national security knowledge and ability to bring new people to the Republican Party. He's concerned about Trump's behavior and believes that Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who drew hundreds of people at a Colchester campaign stop on Saturday, has no credible chance at the nomination.
