Our Legislature is Broken
Massachusetts ranks near the bottom nationally for legislative transparency. The status quo has failed us, and our leadership remains tied to this non-transparent system. I believe our State Senate can—and must—do better. I am committed to deep reform, accountability, and the openness that every voter deserves. The legislature must comply with the People's Audit and reform Leadership Stipends now, and as State Senator I will champion both on day 1.
Local Aid and Education Funding from the State are Broken
As a former town official, I know the financial struggles. Our towns are forced to do more with less for everything, including public safety, schools, and public works. Town budgets are stretched thin and critical infrastructure and equipment are deteriorating, with little hope of being replaced. The state needs to step up, and our towns need an advocate in the State Senate who has lived these struggles and understands the needs.
Let’s lead with our values again.
I became a Democrat because I believe in transparency, accountability, sticking up for working people, and making sure that everyone has a fair shot at housing, education, and jobs.
Our Residents Can't Afford What They Need
A decade ago, Massachusetts already ranked among the worst states for income inequality. Today, that divide has grown even wider. The middle class that so many of us grew up in is disappearing, leaving families struggling with the crushing costs of housing, food, healthcare, and education. These families deserve more than sympathy—they deserve a champion in the State Senate who understands their reality and will work in partnership with others to fight relentlessly on their behalf.
We Need an Effective Legislature to Stand Up for Democracy
State legislatures are on the front lines of protecting our residents from abuses of power by the federal government. Massachusetts must be a strong, vocal bulwark in this fight—defending civil and constitutional rights, safeguarding economic security, and ensuring that fear and extremism never define our future.
