Robert Croce, Jr. was a 2016 Democratic candidate for the Thirteenth Essex District of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.

Campaign themes

2016

Croce's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

Constituent services

  • Always be accessible and accountable to those who elect him.
  • Return all phone calls, and listen to your concerns.
  • Attend neighborhood meetings, and ensure that intrusive and excessive development never jeopardizes resident quality of life.
  • Put all of the issues important to constituents at top of his agenda.
  • Be a good partner for the Mayor of Peabody and town managers in Danvers and Middleton when it comes to funding important projects in their communities.

Education

  • Ensure that communities in the district receive their fair share of state revenue ear-marked for education, and support important projects when it comes to new school construction and renovation.
  • Oppose lifting the cap on charter schools until the system can be fixed. Currently, charter schools drain much-needed dollars from our traditional public schools.
  • Be supportive of legislation that helps public school teachers be more effective, ensuring that we increase retention when it comes to our very best educators.

Public safety

  • Ensure that the district’s communities get the right level of funding from the state budget to help with the hiring of firefighters, police officers and first responders.
  • Fight for funding that allows public safety officials to conduct more training and drills that will help communities prepare to deal with mass casualty incidents, and other unforeseen disasters.
  • Support current opiate-abuse prevention legislation, and work with local police chiefs to help treat addicts rather than incarcerate them.
  • Hold the state accountable for the dangerous mess that is the Route 62/128 Danvers interchange, ensuring that this problem is corrected soon as possible.

Senior Citizens

  • Be supportive of continuing funding for the RIDE, while seeking ways to expand this valuable public service.
  • Be accountable on taxes, and oppose any tax increases that hit seniors on fixed incomes, whose current tax burden is already making affording their homes more difficult.
  • Support and help keep affordable homecare programs, such as North Shore Elder Services, in an effort to allow seniors to maintain a high quality of life while remaining in their own homes.

Environment

  • Support legislation that helps us forge a future dependent on clean, renewable sources of energy.
  • Oppose the construction of gas pipelines that threaten homes, our environment and resident quality of life.
  • Continue to oppose any taxes or “tariffs” that will force resident ratepayers to fund the infrastructure and construction of gas pipelines.
  • Support legislation that helps support conservation and recycling programs in Danvers, West Peabody and Middleton.
  • Refuse to accept campaign contributions from lobbyists who work for the fossil fuels industry.[1]
