Supports expanding access to affordable housing as part of addressing Massachusetts' rising housing costs.

Supports defending civil rights and advancing equity, including protections for LGBTQ+ people and equitable access for marginalized residents.
“I will work tirelessly to ensure protections for LGBTQ+ folks and immigrants, and easy access to effective treatments and care for my neighbors with disabilities, mental health struggles, and addictions.”
Supports lowering the cost of living for middle- and working-class families (e.g., child care, groceries, utilities) through reforms and regulations, including closing tax loopholes so the ultra-wealthy and large corporations pay their fair share.
“The affordability crisis has spiraled out of control for middle- and working-class residents of Massachusetts. The ultra-wealthy and large corporations avoid paying their fair share in taxes by taking advantage of systemic loopholes.”

“Massachusetts must prioritize renewable energy, reduce emissions, and ensure that the cost of climate action does not fall on working families. I will utilize my extensive background in environmental and energy policy to advance “Make Polluters Pay” legislation in order to hold major corporations accountable for their environmental impact and manipulative financial practices without fallout on ratepayers.”
Supports stronger transparency on Beacon Hill, expanded public-record access, and independent audits to ensure taxpayer dollars are used responsibly.
