My parents instilled in me a desire for excellence that I have always carried with me throughout my career. I was blessed to grow up in a loving family in Lunenburg, Mass and continue to consider Central Massachusetts my home. I was fortunate to have a strong family unit growing up and it served me well as I joined the Mass Army National Guard. I am committed to improving the quality of life for my constituents.
Healthcare is not a right. It is a personal decision. Our culture is not set up to make it free. The government need only to spot check the healthcare insurance industry to keep it reasonable, not try to take it over. While I feel it is an important and necessary service, the government has no right to force citizens to buy something they may not want.
