Where does Alan Silvia stand on the issues?

Alan Silvia has a recorded position on three issues. Each is Civoren's summary of the campaign's own public material, with the source linked.

  • Government Transparency & Accountability

    Supports

    Silvia supports state Auditor Diana DiZoglio's authority to audit the Massachusetts Legislature. In April 2026 he filed an amicus brief arguing the auditor has broad authority to probe the Legislature and calling for the 2024 voter-approved audit law to be given effect, breaking with his party's leadership.

    "When we keep talking about transparency and accountability, we're not being very good role models."
