Sarah F. GeorgeSarah F. George

Sarah grew up passionate about understanding both the law and the human mind, which is why she pursued degrees in criminal justice, psychology, forensic psychology, and eventually earned her law degree from Vermont Law and Graduate School.

She started in the office as a Deputy State's Attorney, spending over six years learning about this community from the ground up — its people, its challenges, and its immense potential. In January 2017, she became the Chittenden County State's Attorney, and she haven't looked back since.

Chittenden County is a special place. It's home to nearly one-third of Vermont's population, the most diverse county in the state, and a community that genuinely believes in a smarter, more progressive approach to public safety. That spirit drives everything she does.

Since taking office, she's worked to reimagine what a State's Attorney's Office can look like — reducing unnecessary charges, expanding diversion programs, eliminating requests for cash bail, and decreasing incarceration where it doesn't serve a genuine public safety goal. Real accountability means investing in victims, supporting families, and giving people a real path forward.

To Sarah, a prosecutor's job is to seek justice — not convictions at any cost. That means respecting everyone who walks through the door, following the evidence honestly, and making the hard calls even when they're not the popular ones.

Sarah lives here. She loves this work. And she’s not done yet — there's still work to do to build the safer, fairer Chittenden County we all deserve.
