Issue Position: Expanded Gambling (Casinos and Slots)

Issue Position

I am strongly opposed to bringing casinos, slot machines, or "racinos" to the Commonwealth and I will be working hard to try and defeat these proposals.

I've spent a lot of time looking at the studies, and the reasons to oppose expanded gambling in Massachusetts are overwhelming because of the harm it will cause to local businesses, local communities and families.

We're facing a fiscal crisis in Massachusetts, but casinos aren't the answer. There are better and less destructive ways to solve our fiscal problems and make the Commonwealth a better place to live.
