Issue Position

Every student in Scituate and Marshfield deserves access to an exceptional public education and the ability to learn in a safe environment. Our schools need to be well funded and utilize the latest technology to effectively prepare students for the 21st century economy. Good schools are essential to attracting new families to our community and keeping property values high. The most important way a State Representative can help our schools is fighting for our fair share of local aid funding. Patrick will make this one of his top goals in office.

Additionally, as a graduate of Massachusetts Maritime Academy, a public college, Patrick knows the importance of affordable higher education. A college degree is more important than ever but too many students are graduating from college buried in debt. Patrick will be committed to keeping the UMass system, state colleges, and community colleges affordable for working families.
