The cost-of-living crisis is the central reason I am running. I would support legislation to build more affordable housing, allow communities to adopt stronger tenant protections, expand housing vouchers, and give cities and towns tools they need to fund affordable housing. I would support universal child care and pre-K, with fair wages for providers so families and workers both benefit. I would also support fare-free or reduced-fare public transit, stronger investment in the MBTA and regional transit, utility bill relief, energy efficiency upgrades, and protections against price-gouging on essentials like groceries. Working families should be able to afford to stay in the communities they built.
We should not treat clean energy and affordability as competing goals. The best way to lower costs over time is to reduce our dependence on volatile fossil fuel prices, invest in energy efficiency, and make clean energy accessible to working families, renters, seniors, and small businesses. I would support legislation that expands weatherization, heat pump access, community solar, and utility bill assistance, especially for low- and moderate-income households. I also believe the state must hold utility companies accountable so ratepayers are not asked to carry every cost while companies protect profits. The transition must be fair, practical, and focused on lowering bills for the people who can least afford another increase.
Health care is one of the biggest drivers of the cost-of-living crisis. I would support legislation to lower prescription drug costs, increase transparency in hospital and insurance pricing, and limit surprise bills and unnecessary facility fees that hit patients after they seek care. Massachusetts should expand access to affordable primary care, mental health care, substance use treatment, and community health centers so people can get care early instead of waiting until problems become emergencies. I also support a Medicare for all system in Massachusetts. We can achieve affordable healthcare by expanding subsidies for working families, and holding large hospital systems, insurers, and pharmaceutical companies accountable.
Cities and towns should not have to rely on repeated Proposition 2 ½ overrides just to provide basic services like schools, public safety, roads, libraries, senior services, and trash pickup. The state should increase unrestricted local aid and update funding formulas so they reflect the real costs municipalities face, including inflation, special education, transportation, housing pressures, and aging infrastructure. I would support using state revenue, including Fair Share revenue where appropriate, to better fund schools, roads, public transit, and local services. I also support giving municipalities more local-option tools, such as fees on high-end real estate transactions, while ensuring working families are not asked to carry the load
State and local elections must remain secure, independent, and free from intimidation. I would support legislation that clearly protects voters, poll workers, clerks, and election officials from harassment or interference, whether it comes from political activists or any outside authority acting beyond its lawful role. Massachusetts should strengthen coordination between the Secretary of the Commonwealth, the Attorney General, local election officials, and law enforcement so there are clear protocols for responding to intimidation, misinformation, cybersecurity threats, or attempts to disrupt polling places. I also support continued use of paper ballots, post-election audits, strong chain-of-custody rules, and cybersecurity funding.
Immigrants and their families are part of our communities, our workforce, our schools, and our neighborhoods, and they deserve to live safely and with dignity. I would support legislation that protects due process, expands access to legal assistance, and ensures that families can report crimes, seek medical care, attend school, and participate in civic life without fear. I support clear limits on local involvement in federal immigration enforcement, stronger protections against workplace exploitation, and resources for immigrant-serving organizations that help families navigate housing, education, health care, and legal systems. Massachusetts is strongest when all residents are safe, respected, and able to contribute.
