Ready to Represent Lowell and Tewksbury

ON DAY 1

I’ll save you time and money by delivering funding to increase bus frequency, reduce traffic, and fix our roads and sidewalks, as I did as a City Councilor for Douglas Road and the Reilly School. Investing in open spaces like playgrounds, athletic fields, and trails will remain a top priority.
As a labor leader, I know that investing in apprenticeship, expanded vocational training, and workforce development programs creates pathways to good-paying jobs. As a City Councilor, I led on more apprentice hours on city projects, and limited the fees delivery services can charge restaurants.
We need a long-term, regional solution to the mental health and substance use crisis. I’m committed to working with local, state, and federal partners to increase awareness, reduce stigma, and secure the resources needed to address it at the street level.

I’ve fought against rising healthcare costs, passed the earned sick time law, and successfully passed a paid family and medical leave law. You can count on me to be a champion for you. I’ll address violence head-on by working with local law enforcement and with community groups to tackle root causes like lack of opportunity.
Federal cuts are threatening vital services like VA healthcare and personal care attendants. I’ll fight to protect seniors and veterans, ensure the state never balances the budget on their backs, and fully fund property tax relief programs, and state services for veterans and seniors.
We need to make it easier for first-time home buyers, seniors, and public servants like teachers, nurses, and first responders to find reasonably priced housing. I’ll lower costs by incentivizing starter homes and below-market rents, and holding utilities like National Grid accountable for increases in their rates.
