| Collapse all
- Our Environment! Mashpee, Falmouth and Bourne are in uniquely vulnerable locations for the affects of Climate Change. From the threat of Sea Level Rise, to the pollution of our salt and fresh waters, we need someone who understands our issues, will collaborate with experts and fight for funding and better policies at the State House. The Upper Cape must implement the proper tools for Coastal Resiliency to minimize flood damage during storms for our streets, our homes, our beaches, our towns. I am a vocal opponent of the Joint Base Cape Cod's proposal to site a Machine Gun Range on our Sole Source Aquifer. Our Ponds, Lakes and Rivers must be studied and solutions implemented to prevent cynobacteria blooms and beach closures.
- Housing - As an experienced Realtor, and member of the Bourne Affordable Housing Trust, I see the drastic changes in our housing costs and inventory. We need Workforce Housing in particular. I am working with the Housing Assistance Corporation and other agencies to find housing for displaced families and individuals. I applaud the historic Housing Bond Bill, esp the "Seasonal Community" designation to help us increase year round rentals on Cape. I will pursue every avenue to secure housing for Seniors, Veterans, Working Families and Young people esp. existing residents. We should be renovating or repurposing on already disturbed land and preserve our open space. We must use every tool to manage wastewater simultaneously.
- The New Cape Cod Canal Bridges! As one of the largest and most expensive Transportation Projects in the US, we need someone who is looking out for our residents and local businesses. I share concerns about the local access roads, to minimize the headaches during construction and beyond. Homes will be taken by Eminent Domain and I will fight to ensure people get fair value for their houses and opportunities to find a new home. I will be a loud voice for mitigation for Bourne and its residents.
I will also advocate for Human Rights. Women still have to travel long distances from the Cape to get medical abortions, crucial when a fetal abnormality is detected or the life of the mother is at risk.
Sadly in this state, where Democracy in America began, we have a state legislative systems that benefits those in power over the many, and critical decisions are made without representation. I believe it is time for a change. Our leadership must be transparent, our votes must be debated and the results known.
I believe a state representative must be accessible to all constituents, not just a select few. A state representative should not favor those in the same party, the same town or those with the same ideologies, but be open to ideas and concerns of all the people. Open office hours in all towns is just the start.
I will be an advocate for the environment, housing, human rights, & projects that directly affect our residents and businesses. I will be an advocate for those who think they don't have a voice.
An honest politician appears to now be a rare individual.
In addition to funding and policy making, the core responsibility of a State Rep is to help others. As a graduate of Holy Cross College I have been guided by the principle to be "men and women for and with others." Public Service should not be about me.. its about you. Its about making the world, even our little piece of paradise, a better, more compassionate place. My work with housing and the environment is not for me... I have a home and I love our environment. It is for those who come after me, our children and grandchildren. They must inherit a cleaner, fairer and more accessible Cape Cod.
I learned that celebrities or "important people" are just like us. Dan Rather would forget his briefcase in our office, so I'd call him to let him know... he said..." its just my peanut butter and jelly sandwich , I'll get it later." He was the Nightly News anchor and editor. He was a fantastic mentor and human being. I am most fortunate to have this as my first job...
Find housing and work for our immigrant, veteran and existing residents.
Explore all options for fight Climate Change and plan for Coastal Resiliency.
Develop and implement Housing to reduce the cost of housing, increase inventory without destroying our character or environment.
Multiple states have enacted the Death with Dignity with no horrifying consequences. A team of doctors must approve the prescription, only the individual can request it for themselves, its a white powder added to 4 oz. of water that you drink and drift off to sleep. Only half of the people prescribed even use the medication but they all have the peace of mind knowing if its needed, its there.
I have been directly touched by this on many occasions.
