Open Government
"As your state representative, I want to make it easy for you to find out what's going on
at the State Legislature, and help you make your voice heard on Beacon Hill."

- For too long, the legislature has been disconnected from the people. We all should be able to
easily find out what's going on at the State House. Today's lack of transparency fosters backroom
deals that benefit big corporations and special interests, and hurt us.
- I do not believe that elected officials should hold two elected offices at the same time. The
point of government service should be to do good, not to become wealthy. When taxpayers pay full-time
wages to representatives, they have a right to expect full-time work.
- We need to make it easier for people to participate and vote. That's why I support motor-voter
registration and same-day voter registration. I am interested in looking at other initiatives to
encourage people to get involved.
- Massachusetts was built on a promise of liberty and democracy. It is up to us to make sure that
promise is fulfilled.
