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.
Local businesses create local jobs, not the government. A living wage should match the value of the person doing that job. To force businesses to pay a wage for a job that doesn't warrant it is unfair. Let businesses grow and jobs, good paying jobs, will follow.
