Get StartedAs State Representative, investing in our public schools is among my highest priority. We need to ensure that no child has less educational opportunity because of where they live, and every child across the Commonwealth has access to the life-changing empowerment that a great education brings.

I will look for ways to hold energy companies accountable for plugging their leaking gas pipes to reduce this major source of methane pollution. I will push State agencies to help communities set net-zero energy consumption goals. I will oppose efforts to expand gas pipelines, especially those coming from fracking, or being built through pristine lands. Learn more
In the Legislature, I will stand firm on the provisions of the Global Warming Solutions Act and push for better planning to ensure we can meet and exceed our targets. I will strongly advocate for important initiatives including raising the cap on solar net metering, retrofitting State facilities and switching our public vehicle fleet to energy-efficient vehicles.

I will promote State efforts to work with local communities to prepare for and adapt to the effects of climate change. Climate must be considered in everything that we do because it is the most pressing struggle we face. Learn more
We must institute comprehensive policies that make it easier for people to be healthy. More State funding should be directed to programs that emphasize wellness, with education aimed at improving nutrition, measures to encourage physical activity, and strong preventative efforts to vaccinate and screen for diseases so they can be treated early.

We must improve the very low wages of home care workers, and create a student loan repayment pilot program for licensed, certified social workers working in areas of high need. We need to be prepared, with legislation in place, to provide healthcare continuity for our most vulnerable residents in the event of federal cuts to our Medicaid funding. Learn more
We must work towards the creation of a single payer health insurance system in Massachusetts that guarantees access, is publicly administered, and lowers the cost of health care. Learn more
Meaningful investments in transit and transportation infrastructure must be a priority for Massachusetts. Increased traffic congestion, outdated public transit, and crumbling roads and bridges make getting around the region an increasing challenge and can ultimately damage our economy and quality of life.

I am passionate about transit, bicycle, and pedestrian access, and I will continue to focus on funding capital improvements to public transportation. We need to close the "first mile/last mile" transit gap that separates our homes and workplaces from convenient access to public transportation. Bicycling and walking options are a piece of this puzzle. For the sake of ourselves and future generations, we have to move quickly and boldly towards transit access and decarbonization. Learn more
