-House concurrent resolution in memory of global gay rights advocate, political activist, culinary bibliophile, and chocolatier maven Terje
-Anderson
-Whereas, Terje Anderson (who legally changed his name from James to honor his Swedish heritage) was born on June 29, 1958, in Indiana,
-Pennsylvania; attended McGill University; became fluent in French; developed a lifelong interest in Canadian politics; acquired a taste for
-Montreal’s restaurants, the start of his passions as an enthusiastic culinary bibliophile and chocolatier; and derived great joy from being a dog
-owner, and
-Whereas, beyond the classroom, he embarked on a life dedicated to social justice and fairness for all, navigating his status as a gay man in an
-era when gay rights were sparse and often vehemently opposed locally, nationally, and internationally, and
-Whereas, early on, he served as the Vermont Department of Health’s AIDS program chief and was a cofounder of Vermont CARES, the
-State’s first AIDS service organization, and
-Whereas, Terje Anderson became executive director of the Southern Colorado AIDS Project in Colorado Springs; was appointed to the
-Colorado Governor’s AIDS Council; served as a member of Colorado’s HIV Prevention Community Planning Group and on the Clinton
-Administration’s Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS; and, eventually, moved to Washington, DC, to become the executive director of
-the National Association of People with AIDS, a position that included an extensive international component; but ultimately, the beauty of
-Vermont called him north, and he settled in an inviting, former one-room schoolhouse in Montgomery, and
-Whereas, his political involvement began as a volunteer at 14 years of age on the 1972 Shirley Chisholm presidential primary campaign; he
-was a leader of Jesse Jackson’s 1984 delegation to the Democratic National Convention (DNC); in 1992, he served as the first openly gay
-individual to chair a state delegation to the DNC; in 2017, the Vermont Democratic Party elected him as its chair; and, in 2020, as a Vermont
-Electoral College elector, Terje Anderson appeared live on national television as the Vermont delegation cast its votes for Joe Biden, and
-Whereas, most recently, he enjoyed working at the Jay Peak Resort, performing informational and troubleshooting roles, and
-Whereas, Terje Anderson’s pathbreaking life ended with his premature death in a tragic house fire on March 15, 2026, at 67 years of age, and
-his survivors include his sister, Kim Anderson Via; his two nephews; and many friends around the world, now therefore be it
-Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives:
-That the General Assembly expresses its sincere condolences to the family and friends of Terje Anderson, and be it further
-Resolved: That the Secretary of State be directed to send a copy of this resolution to the family of Terje Anderson and to the Vermont
-Democratic Party.
