I have a fresh perspective for addressing our challenges with health, wealth, and education. Public health would better serve our communities by encouraging and supporting true health and prevention. This would reduce chronic disease, cultivate resilience to infectious disease, improve the mental health crisis, reduce medical costs, boost productivity, and have ripple effects throughout the economy. The time for this approach is now.
Small businesses are the backbone of the economy. Capricious pandemic policies favored big business and caused 40% of our small businesses to permanently close. As a small business owner, I understand the challenges of running a small business in Massachusetts. I will work to make it simpler and more affordable to run a small business here.
Schools should offer a positive and healthy environment, free of political agendas. It is urgent that we get the toxic chemicals out of school lunches. I would ensure that schools are properly funded.
- I am the commonsense choice to bring balance, reason, and compassion back to Massachusetts. Currently, the Massachusetts legislature is skewed far to the left and has succumbed to groupthink. I understand and respect the full political spectrum and am committed to engaging in sincere dialogue so that we truly can find the best solutions for our community.
- Our public health agencies have been narrowly focused on infectious disease and the pharmaceutical model. A broader approach that includes supporting true health will benefit both the physical and mental health crises, reduce costs, improve productivity, and make us more resilient in the face of another pandemic. It also improves quality of life. Public health should be supportive, not coercive. Medical mandates erode trust in our public health institutions, create worker shortages, financially hurt hard-working families, and have negative physical and psychological impacts.
- Small businesses are the backbone of our economy. They employ about half of the workforce. Arbitrary covid19 mandates permanently shuttered about 40% of small businesses in the nation. My husband and I are small business owners and experienced pre-covid how difficult and expensive it is to start up and run a small business here. I intend to make Massachusetts friendlier to small businesses through lower taxes, preferential loans, and rolling back onerous regulations, so that they once again flourish, create jobs, and help residents achieve the American dream.
