The outcome should be clear: working families should be able to afford to stay and build a future in Massachusetts. I would support legislation that increases housing production, particularly starter and workforce housing; expands childcare capacity and strengthens its workforce; improves reliable public transportation; and reduces unnecessary utility costs.
I would also review regulations and state policies that unintentionally increase the cost of housing, energy, and doing business. We should measure success by whether essential household costs consume less of families’ incomes and whether their economic security improves.
Affordability and clean energy should not be competing goals. Massachusetts must pursue three outcomes together: lower emissions, reliable energy, and affordable bills. Climate change is real and is also a serious affordability issue for working families. I support stronger scrutiny of utility spending and rate increases, competitive clean-energy procurement, faster permitting, and efficiency investments that produce measurable savings. Every major energy policy should be judged by its impact on affordability, reliability, emissions, and working families. The transition must be practical and transparent. If a policy lowers emissions but places unsustainable costs on families, lawmakers should find a better way to achieve our climate goals.
Massachusetts should measure health-care success by affordability and health outcomes, not simply insurance coverage. I support stronger scrutiny of hospital, insurer, and pharmaceutical costs; greater price transparency; reducing unnecessary administrative costs; protecting families from medical debt; and investing in primary, behavioral, and preventive care. Federal funding reductions make this work even more urgent. Success means slowing the growth of premiums and out-of-pocket costs without sacrificing access or quality. We should invest where care today prevents more expensive emergency and crisis care tomorrow, while demanding accountability for how public and private health-care dollars are spent.
Proposition 2½ creates fiscal discipline, but essential municipal costs often grow faster than 2.5%, especially in Gateway Cities and urban centers. I support predictable local aid, full funding of state commitments, reducing unfunded mandates, and funding formulas that reflect a community’s tax capacity and service needs. I also support a municipal fiscal-stress indicator using existing state data so we can address structural problems before taxpayers face repeated overrides, service cuts, or deteriorating essential services. Shared services and purchasing can also reduce costs without sacrificing quality. The state should identify fiscal stress early rather than waiting until a community reaches a crisis.
Our elections are free, fair, honest, and well run by local professionals and community volunteers. Federal agencies, political activists, or anyone else should not interfere with lawful election administration or intimidate voters. I support clear protocols against unlawful interference, coordination among state and local officials, cybersecurity investments, paper ballots, post-election audits, and rapid legal action when necessary. Massachusetts must protect every eligible voter’s constitutional right to participate safely and without intimidation. Lawful election observation should be protected, but intimidation and partisan interference should never be tolerated. Protecting voting rights and public confidence must remain a priority.
Immigration enforcement is primarily a federal responsibility, but Massachusetts must protect every person’s constitutional rights regardless of immigration status. I oppose using state and local resources for federal civil immigration enforcement and support safeguards for schools, courts, and places of worship. Federal agents conducting enforcement should be identifiable and accountable. Our communities are less safe when families fear reporting crimes or cooperating with police. Racial profiling is unconstitutional, unlawful, and unacceptable. I also support reliable legal information and stronger protections against discrimination and exploitation. Due process must apply to all, and no one should be targeted because of race or status.
