Affordable Housing
SupportsSupports housing that is actually affordable for families, seniors, renters, and young people; backs reforming Chapter 40B to require union labor and licensing standards, local option real estate transfer fees, and stronger MBTA Communities Act enforcement.
“Families of all makes, seniors, renters, and young people deserve housing that's actually affordable.”
AI Regulation & Safety

“AI can be a powerful tool for workers and communities. But only if we set clear ethical guardrails and ensure it strengthens, not replaces, human judgment and livelihoods.”

“Make child care affordable - no family should pay more than 7% of their income on child care”

SupportsSupports a Blackstone Valley renaissance of small business, innovation, and culture: invest in small-business development and entrepreneurship, support arts/culture and creative-economy initiatives, expand workforce development and apprenticeship programs, and fight for equitable local aid.
“We live in the birthplace of the industrial revolution, and it's time to renew that claim with a renaissance of small business, innovation, and culture in the Blackstone Valley.”
Elder & Senior Protection
SupportsSupports protecting and expanding MassHealth, funding home and community-based care, investing in senior centers to address social isolation, reforming long-term care so it doesn't wipe out savings, and making prescription drugs affordable.
“A Lifetime of Work Should Mean Security.”
Energy
SupportsFrames affordability through energy costs: expand home solar, battery storage, and energy-efficiency upgrades; invest in modern, union-built energy infrastructure; and increase transparency and accountability for utilities while protecting environmental standards.
