Priority Issues:

"As your State Representative, I will push forward the issues that greatly impact the families and businesses in our communities.

The key issues of my campaign will be applying a tourniquet on unfunded mandates, restoring and improving state aid to cities and towns, improving care for our most vulnerable without stripping their dignity and reversing regulations that stymie growth.

As a small business owner, I see daily the challenges and roadblocks that prevent economic growth, allowing me to bring that perspective to State government. We cannot continue on the path of obstruction.

I am prepared to be a voice of reason on Beacon Hill, and am willing to hear all sides of the issues, compromise with others who may not share my point of view, and work to make progress every step of the way."
