Why are you running for State Rep.?
I am running to bring balance to Beacon Hill. The current representative appears to promote a political agenda over protecting the interests of his constituents.
Why should voters elect you as State Rep.?
Voters should elect me because I would be a better steward of their funds, I would focus on the needs of the town over the political goals of the extreme wing of a party, and because I will work with the towns' officials to maximize state resources flowing to our towns.
