Which office are you seeking? Please include the office's full title, including district number, and the state where you are running.
State Representative, MA 8th Bristol District |
|
10 |
Why are you running for this office?
I'm running because our district deserves a strong advocate and a new voice at the State House. |
|
11 |
What issues are most important to you?
Our campaign is focused on fiscal responsibility, public safety, and accountability and transparency in state government. We're taking an inclusive, community-based approach to the issues. |
|
12 |
What makes you a unique candidate for this office?
I bring a different perspective and approach to the issues facing our district. As a result of my work in the public policy field, I have a unique understanding of the many important problems affecting our region. Like many legislative seats in Massachusetts, this seat went unopposed for a decade and, prior to my candidacy, has not had a general election opponent from another major party since 1996. |

I'm a registered Republican and Chair of the Republican Town Committee in Westport, MA. |
