Paul R. Feeney

Criminal Justice / Public Safety

I am cognizant that certain aspects of policing requires immediate reform. I have met with constituents in my district and other people across the Commonwealth who live in fear of some members of law enforcement based on their lived experiences and that of their loved ones and community members.

I believe strongly in community policing and believe that our neighborhoods are best served when we foster a respectful, positive relationship between citizens and first responders. Learn more

Drug Policy

I believe we must increase the amount of beds and treatment facilities in Massachusetts, mandate expanded insurance coverage and ensure the accessibility and affordability of treatment services for those that are suffering the grip of addiction. Learn more

Education

We owe it to our kids to provide a safe, comfortable, nurturing and well-rounded environment that incorporates civics education, music and the arts in their education. Additionally, though I support the mission of charter schools and have seen great success in many, we must not allow precious resources to be funneled away from traditional public schools.

Beyond just K through 12, I have consistently advocated for debt-free public colleges and universities and the elimination of student debt. Learn more

Environment / Energy

Enforceable regulations must be put in place to ensure the protection of our natural resources. Learn more

I also believe in science, and though some may deny the connection between our energy consumption and climate change, I would be negligent in my work as a Senator if I did not strongly support policy that moves us toward one-hundred percent renewable energy. Learn more

Government Reform

I believe that our legislators must embrace a spirit of open and responsive government. We should be held to a higher standard when it comes to transparency and must do everything we can to shed light on the legislative process. Learn more

Healthcare

I will continue to advocate for transparency in the pharmaceutical industry and take steps to lower the exorbitant costs of prescription drugs. Learn more

It is now more important than ever that our state legislators stand up to protect medicaid, medicare and other Federal programs that are being threatened by the administration in Washington. Learn more
