Supports equal protection under the law and opposes discrimination based on identity, who people love, how they worship, where they come from, or personal healthcare decisions.

“No one should face discrimination because of who they are, who they love, how they worship, where they come from, or the personal decisions they make about their own lives and healthcare.”

Supports easing seniors' cost of living by increasing state local aid to relieve property-tax pressure on fixed-income residents, and expanding affordable senior housing so older residents can age with dignity and stay in their communities.

“Addressing the cost of living for seniors starts with giving more support to local government. When the state increases local aid, it helps reduce the pressure on cities and towns that would otherwise be forced to raise property taxes. For seniors living on fixed or limited incomes, every increase can make it harder to remain in the homes and communities they have spent a lifetime building.”

Supports lowering energy costs, reforming Mass Save so it works for renters and working families, expanding municipal aggregation, and holding utility monopolies like Eversource and National Grid accountable.

“We must also reform Mass Save so it actually works for renters and working families, expand municipal aggregation so towns can negotiate better rates directly, and cut the red tape that keeps cheaper energy projects stuck in limbo while ratepayers foot the bill.”

Supports legislative transparency reform including public committee votes, mandatory waiting periods before final votes on major legislation, stronger public records laws, tougher ethics protections, and independent redistricting.

“I support real legislative transparency reform. Committee votes should be public, major legislation should be subject to a mandatory waiting period before a final vote, and public records laws should be strengthened and consistently enforced.”

Supports reducing permitting delays and outdated regulations that drive up housing costs so more homes reach the market, prices become manageable, and homeownership is achievable again.

Supports increasing local aid for roads, bridges, water and sewer systems, and investing in commuter rail improvements including expanded parking, better station facilities, and increased service frequency.

“Local roads, bridges, and water infrastructure need real investment. I will fight to increase local aid so that Billerica and communities like ours have the resources to repair roads, maintain critical infrastructure, and upgrade the aging water and sewer systems residents rely on every day.”
