James held on to the lessons from those he met, and from an early age decided that his calling was the pursuit of social and economic justice. His activism further nurtured by the brothers at Xaverian High School, James went on to graduate from Harvard with honors where he was involved in numerous Democratic campaigns.
I support the Fair Share amendment to ensure that Massachusetts doesn’t leave anyone behind. With the rising value of real estate, we should adjust the estate tax exemption upwards so we don't hurt families whose major (and sometimes only) investment is their home. This is not the time to reduce corporate taxes, but I do support targeting tax credits and incentives for important strategic investment and collaboration with the business community in areas such as clean energy, local sourcing, technology, and life sciences.
