​Jim Hawkins is your candidate for re-election to State Representative in the Second Bristol District of Attleboro. He is a graduate of Colby College with an MBA from Providence College. He has been a homeowner in Attleboro for over 35 years. Jim has been an eager and supportive advocate for local businesses and has earned a glowing reputation as a steadfast and effectual champion for public education.
The highways are clogged and MBTA is unreliable and overcrowded. For Attleboro to grow we need easier access to high paying jobs closer to Boston. Regional Transportation is needed for low income workers who need to get to work and shopping yet that has been level funded. Even though the millionaire’s tax would provide relief for our transportation and infrastructure, my opponent is stated she is against it.
