Reason for Seeking Public Office:
I am running for State Representative because we have to change the culture and priorities of Beacon Hill. Not only is Beacon Hill not focusing on job creation, but it raised taxes, increased state spending and is cutting local aid and services.
The "pay more, spend more, and get less" culture of Beacon Hill needs to change. We need to move job creation from the bottom of the priority list up to the top. The Beacon Hill status quo will not change by itself. It starts with electing new people.
