(Dem)
Do you support election day voter registration? Why or why not?
What actions should the legislature take to address the climate emergency?
What should the legislature do to increase the supply of affordable and middle-market housing in Massachusetts?
What measures would you support to deal with the needs of the large number of immigrants coming to Massachusetts?
What are your priorities for dealing with transportation statewide and in your district?
Yes. The more people vote, the more reflective the results are of people's real choices.
We must work with utmost speed to avert the coming crisis - we need to move away from fossil fuels, stop spending money on new gas infrastructure, transition to electric and geothermal. We need to incentivize use of EV's, public transit, and efficient appliances.
We can do so much at the state level to increase affordable and middle-market housing - more direct public investment, tax incentives, transfer of state-owned land, and allowing accessory dwelling units -- all of which have been included in the Governor's housing bill.
We are a welcoming state and one that has benefited from new immigrants throughout our history. I support the governor's approach to living up to our goals, while also making efforts to limit the budgetary impact - by fast-tracking work authorizations and more economical housing strategies for immigrants.
I have been a daily T-rider for >20 yrs to work and back, so I know what we need to improve the quality, safety, and reliability of our transit system. If you build it, people will use it! So we need to invest (with oversight) in the system, restore bus routes and expand the system as much as possible.
