Lisa Mair (Independent)
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.
