Howard Terban is 68 year old US citizen who has been a businessman in Stoughton for over 40 years. I am a lifelong conservative who supports conservative values and will strive to fix a broken system through honest communication. I will uphold common sense values. I am not a politician: I will not speak out of both sides of my mouth. I will work with both sides of the aisle to promote much needed change.
  • Inflation is the top issue in this year's election. Dems are willing to tank our economy in the name of green energy. The Biden administration has taken us from energy independence to a looming recession. Inflation is at a 40 year high. Republicans want to open our economy, promote businesses, and let them flourish.
  • We must stop allowing immigrants to enter this country illegally. Our immigration system is broken and is harming communities, our schools, our workforce and our lives.
  • Parents should be in control of their children's education. As their primary educators, parents should have the freedom to speak out in support of a curriculum that evokes American values and patriotism for our country and its flag. Public schools have been failing our children for many years and must stop the indoctrination.
We must continue to fund and educate our police. We must support their efforts and work with them to ensure public safety. Justice for all people. One system of justice for everyone.
President Ronald Reagan was a strong, self-confident politician. He knew who he was and had his vision of what he wanted our country to be. He took arrows from the opposing party and handled it with grace and dignity.
Independence Day
Everyone can succeed in America . One can achieve the American dream if they are willing to try and work hard. With people working hard, with a common goal, we can take back America.
I will uphold common sense values. I will not speak out of both sides of my mouth. I am some one who is committed to hard work. I will work hard to serve the people in my constituency. My conservative core values cannot be altered by liberal Democrats and their self serving agenda.
I am running for State Rep to do the work of the people, to support local government by helping to promote much needed change. We must push back on federal government control and get the federal bureaucracy off our backs.
Never sleeps...always working for the common good of all.
When I was 9 years old in 1963, I watched the coverage of the JFK assassination.
I was a delivery boy for my uncle's stationery store in Boston when I was 13 years old. I took the subway into town during the summer.
State legislature makes the laws but must convince the governor that the policies are good for our state so the governor will sign it into law.
Getting anything accomplished in liberal, blue Massachusetts is almost impossible. but every journey begins with a single step. We need common sense conservatives in office to change our current state of affairs.
One direction without debate and discussion and opposite points of view pushes us in one direction and not necessarily the best one. We need the input of a lot of smart people who do take opposing sides of an issue.
A well educated, hard working person of many different backgrounds can serve the people.
All legislators must work together with a mutual respect to get anything done. The disdain for one another today is draining on everyone.
Elected officials must talk to the people and work with them to get it right.
No
Yes
Absolutely YES. Parties must come together and compromise. Gridlock is hurting our country and our future. I can work with people on both sides of the aisle.
