Lowell and Tewksbury made me who I am today.

I grew up in a working-class family. My mom was a public school teacher, and my dad was a Pipefitter. I worked my way through school, graduating from Tewksbury High and earning both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from UMass Lowell.

I know what it takes to work hard and provide for a family, and that’s why I’ve dedicated my life to fighting for people.

As a Lowell City Councilor, I passed policies to allow for more reasonably priced housing, cut unnecessary fees for small businesses, and delivered real results by pushing for a sidewalk on Douglas Road and repaving the Reilly School parking lot.

As a labor leader representing workers at the State House, I led the passage of earned sick time, higher wages, and paid family and medical leave.

I’m running for State Representative because I’m the only candidate with the experience of delivering results at the local and state level. I’ll be ready on day 1 to deliver for you.

I humbly ask for your vote on or before Tuesday, September 1st.
