    “He now has four pillars: relief on cost of living and everyday expenses; infrastructure that keeps up with growth; preserving the character, natural resources, farms and open space of Dartmouth; and fostering local small businesses and keeping money in town. ... If he wins, Medeiros wants to focus on lowering costs in the state. ...

  • Environment & Sustainability

    Opposes

    Opposes the proposed South Coast Renewables waste transfer facility that would affect New Bedford's 1st Ward (partly within the 9th Bristol district), saying the project is not in the best interests of district residents.

    “It's really creating a challenge for the residents, and I understand what they're going through... I don't think that that is going to be in the best interests of the residents in that district.”

  • Immigration

    Mixed

    Supports humane treatment of undocumented immigrants, a legal process toward either a pathway to citizenship or removal, and Massachusetts' PROTECT Act, which restricts ICE operations in state courts, schools, and clinics.

    “People should be here legally. The people who are not … I do believe that they have basic human rights and need to be treated that way.”
