Healthcare is a basic right and not a luxury. Everyone across the Commonwealth should have adequate access to basic healthcare.

Our schools represent our future and it is vital to invest in our public school system.

Expanding access to resources for small businesses ensures that opportunities reach all corners of the Commonwealth.

Communities of color have experienced countless injustices and are often deprived of opportunities that are afforded to their peers.
Every person in our Commonwealth has the right to the same opportunities, resources, and assistance. Steve believes that the only way forward is to ensure that low-income communities, immigrants and people of color no longer disproportionately face barriers and being denied opportunities in MA.
