The COVID-19 pandemic has knocked our economy to its knees, negatively affecting many - from hourly wage workers to small business owners to local government - with economic ripple effects likely still to come. That’s why now, more than ever, we need someone with financial expertise and real-world experience in the State House. Even when the last of our restrictions are lifted, we’ll have a lot of rebuilding to do. And this pandemic has highlighted the economic inequalities that already existed for too many people in our district. It’s imperative that when we seek to restore our economy, we do not leave our people behind. That’s why, when I’m in the State Senate, I will fight for workers’ rights, support for small business owners and measures that bring not only economic stability but opportunity to ALL Massachusetts residents, and not just those at the very top.
