ESTELA REYES wasn't born wealthy. She was raised by working-class parents in the Dominican Republic, from whom she learned what it takes to provide for the family- and their community.She moved from city of Santiago de los Caballeros in the Dominican Republic to Lawrence, Massachusetts over thirty years ago. Estela became a homeowner at the age of twenty, thanks to her financial discipline, commitment, and determination.
Public safety includes Emergency Medical Services, Fire Services, Law Enforcement, Corrections, and WildLife Services. These are fundamental services that no community can live without. As State Representative, I will use my years of experience in office to translate policy into practice in order to strengthen public safety services for our community. I’ve been able to work with our state and federal delegation to bring resources to our community. As State Representative, I will continue to work to bring the funding needed in order to continue the positive progress made in our communities, while addressing the critical and unmet needs related to public safety.
