I have a Phd in American history, and have taught as an adjunct professor at several colleges in addition to my antique business. This gives me a unique position as both a small business person and an educator belonging to a union. I have been an activist for housing and neighborhood preservation and for clean government and getting money out of politics. I am a member of the North Brookfield Democratic Town Committee.
  • Central Massachusetts west of Worcester is an overlooked part of our state. For decades, as industry has dwindled, the state has failed to support the basic education, healthcare, and transit institutions that we need to thrive. Resources are poured into Boston, leaving our towns to squeeze property taxpayers for funds. As in so much of rural America, many younger people leave, and storefronts in some towns sit empty for years.
  • Voters and taxpayers pay state legislators' salaries (currently $62,000/yr), and central Massachusetts deserves a representative who will work for them full time.
  • I am a proud Democrat, and I believe in the tradition of the Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Harry Truman, and other progressives that have fought for working people and rural America. The tabs at the top of this webpage will give more detail about who I am, who is supporting me in this campaign, and what I hope to do to advance the interests of central Massachusetts.
My first priority would be reversing the loss of health care services in central Mass., and making health care, including mental health and addiction treatment, available to every town in this region. Next would be support for basic infrastructure and schools in our small towns: fully fund rural schools in the state to take the burden off of local property-tax payers, and insure town-town transit, such as shuttles. Lastly, I would fight for transparency and clean government in the state house.
Integrity. Your promises to voters matter, not your promises to some powerful politician or moneyed interest.
The House is very tightly controlled by party leadership, and is opaque in terms of how it debates, amends, and passes bills. The House should be reformed to be at least as transparent as the Senate, providing ample notification and time for public input, and holding actual roll-call votes on substantive issues, so that reps are accountable to the public, not just to leadership.
Housing, unemployment and underemployment, low wages, climate change, and supporting good schools.
It is important to build relationships with other legislators with shared interests, regardless of party or ideology. In particular, I would work to build a strong coalition of rural reps and senators. Legislators tend to over-emphasize getting close to party leadership.
Steve Brewer.
No.
My downstairs neighbors work at the Vibram shoe-sole factory. They are classed as essential workers because they supply the US military. They must go to work in a heavy industry, wearing masks and "social distancing," with no extra pay, and no access to unemployment. This country cannot treat our own "essential workers" this way any longer.
