I want to challenge you to expect more from our leaders than finger pointing & cable tv hits-- your rep should listen and then put ideas forward to make life better. Here's a start--a 35 point plan to build more houses in MA and to make them more affordable for working families. buff.ly/Hu3VRXF

Secretary Hegseth has made our country weaker, not stronger.

Scouting taught me how to preserve through challenges, work with others, and give back to my community, as it has for countless young people. Stunts like this make that opportunity less accessible.

The Coast Guard keeps our recreational boaters safe, protects our fishermen, and stands watch over our homeland. Few regions rely on them more than ours. Trump’s brand of hate doesn’t just inspire extremists — it distracts the military from its mission. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols

The president has time to hang out in the booth for
#nflonfox during the longest government shutdown in history? Shows his priorities. Time to put people focused on service instead of self service in office.

I think too many people, both current electeds and people running for office, conflate the idea of going on cable news or social media and shaking their fists with genuine problem solving. To win back Congress we have to go back to the root causes that brought us Trump.

I'm running for Congress.
For more than a decade, I've worked behind the scenes helping people when government wasn't working for them. I've spent my life in public service, not politics. And that's the spirit I'm bringing to this campaign.
