Evan grew up in Fall River, Massachusetts and is a current resident of Westport. He attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst as well as the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in political science. Working at a number of local businesses, he has seen and discussed the negative impact of a heavy tax and regulatory burden, bolstering his strong belief in fiscal responsibility.
The Commonwealth’s residents face a heavy tax burden. Lower tax rates would ease this burden and attract businesses, driving additional investment in the state. Taxes should not be indexed to the rate of inflation, such as with the proposed automatic gas tax increase.
