We deserve a healthcare system that prioritizes public health, not the profits of big health insurance companies.  That's why I support the creation of a single-payer healthcare system, which would replace for-profit health insurers with one state-administered health insurance provider.

I strongly believe in the values of transparency, accountability, and democracy.  As a City Councilor, I passed legislation to require committee meetings to be recorded and publicly released.  As State Representative, I will fight for reforms to make our State House more transparent.

Massachusetts faces a severe housing shortage.  Young people, seniors, and working families are all struggling to find safe, affordable places to live.  While my opponent voted against the Affordable Homes Act in 2024, I will support efforts to bring down housing costs and to expand our housing supply.

Too often, hard-working people bear the brunt of state income taxes, while millionaires and giant corporations aren’t paying their fair share.  By raising taxes on the wealthy, we can raise the revenues needed to make important investments in our state and ease the tax burden for everyday people.

I strongly believe that every worker should have the right to join a union and to collectively bargain for fair wages, benefits, and working conditions.  As our State Representative, I will stand with organized labor in our fight to ensure that workers throughout Massachusetts are treated fairly.

I am a strong supporter of West-East rail.  Providing frequent, convenient train services between here and Boston will greatly improve the ease of traveling back-and-forth across our state and will create economic opportunities for Western Massachusetts.

As the son of two Southwick-Tolland-Granville public school teachers, I hold an immense appreciation for the importance of our public schools.  As a City Councilor, I supported the new Agawam High School project, and as our State Representative, I will continue working to support public education.

In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade, reproductive rights are under attack throughout the country.  While my opponent has repeatedly voted against Massachusetts’s efforts to protect reproductive freedom, I will work to defend our rights and expand reproductive healthcare access.

I support reducing crime and improving public safety by addressing the root causes of crime.  By investing in mental health resources, addiction rehabilitation, social workers, and housing, we can prevent crime before it happens while creating opportunities for people to improve their lives.

Energy utility monopolies are price-gouging people throughout our state, and I’m fighting against it.  As a City Councilor, I passed Community Energy Aggregation, which will reduce energy prices in Agawam.  As our State Representative, I will continue working to fight energy price increases.

I am a proud supporter of the LGBTQ community.  While my opponent has repeatedly voted to undermine LGBTQ rights, I will always support LGBTQ equality and oppose discrimination.

I care deeply about our environment and about building a sustainable future.  As State Representative, I will support efforts to preserve the beauty of our ecosystems, to protect our community from air and water pollution, and to promote a fair transition away from fossil fuels and towards clean, renewable energy.
