I'm running for State Representative because the residents of Westport, Fall River, New Bedford, Freetown, and Acushnet deserve a new voice and a strong advocate on Beacon Hill. Working at a number of local businesses, I have seen and discussed the negative impact of a heavy tax and regulatory burden, bolstering my strong belief in fiscal responsibility. Through my involvement in state and local campaigns, I gained valuable experience hearing from people throughout the Commonwealth. I was a research assistant at the Public Policy Center in Dartmouth, where I worked to inform evidence-based policymaking. Currently, I serve as Chairman of the Westport Republican Town Committee and I am also a research consultant focusing on issues ranging from economic development to public health. With deep ties to the local community, I am committed to listening to and serving the residents of the district.
  • I will stand up for fiscal responsibility and continue to call on the Legislature to pursue tax cuts to provide much needed relief to taxpayers in the Commonwealth.
  • I will promote public safety and support our local law enforcement who work hard every day to keep our neighborhoods safe.
  • Amid rising prices and inflation, we need a representative on Beacon Hill who will fight for our community and push for accountability and transparency in state government.
Throughout my campaign, I have focused on supporting fiscally responsible policies, pushing for tax relief and economic development, and promoting public safety. These are some of the issues that I hear most often during my conversations with residents throughout the district.

I am running to represent the 8th Bristol District to be a voice for the people of Westport, Fall River, New Bedford, and Freetown. As a lifelong resident of the community, I will be a strong advocate for the hard-working men and women of the district. Working with folks at local businesses, I have seen and discussed the negative impact of a heavy tax and regulatory burden, bolstering my strong belief in fiscal responsibility. Through my time working on a US Senate campaign, I gained valuable insight hearing from people throughout the Commonwealth about the issues that concern them. Currently, I am a research assistant at the Public Policy Center in Dartmouth, MA, where I work on community-based issues every day. With deep ties to the local community, I remain committed to listening to and serving the residents of the district.
  • In the legislature, I will advocate for lower taxes and reformed spending to help grow our state's economy.
  • I will promote increased government accountability and transparency on Beacon Hill.
  • I remain deeply committed to listening to members of the community about the issues that concern them.
I have had the opportunity to speak with hundreds of people throughout the district, and I share many of the same concerns that they have expressed. These conversations have driven my passion for lowering taxes and increasing accountability and transparency. Our state also faces challenges on many other fronts, including transportation, education, infrastructure, and local aid. The residents of the 8th Bristol District deserve a new voice on Beacon Hill, and I am running to bring positive change to our community and our Commonwealth.
