Loring is the most qualified State Rep candidate running for the newly created Middlesex 8th District seat because she is the only one who has successfully navigated complex public and private sector relationships with insights from current issues facing our four towns. As well, she is the lone businessperson among the politicians in the field. She understands what it takes to make a difference as an advocate for Holliston, Hopkinton, Millis, and Sherborn.
Make MA Easier to Do Business - Over 99% of MA employers are small businesses, yet our state is the most expensive in the US for operating a business. State government can address regulations and fees to become an economic growth and business retention partner. The National Federation of Independent Businesses (NFIB) has endorsed my candidacy.
Cultivate Public–Private Partnerships - As legislators impose laws impacting fast growth innovation industries – renewable energy, biotechnology, clinical research, cybersecurity, among them – we need their experts informing policy, particularly for the push into a clean energy economy with conservation best practices. I have been recognized for public–private partnerships.
Fill Empty Jobs - We have a serious labor crisis. Sectors like retail, transportation, agriculture, and restaurants need legislators to work with them, or MA will continue to see economic and employment losses.
Open State Purchasing - State purchasing contracts have restricted enrollment periods (by years), potentially shutting out qualified vendors on a technicality of timing. This should be fixed by opening a true open vendor marketplace with real-time business enrollment, giving government purchasers more vendor choice and opening access to State revenue opportunities to more qualified vendors, particularly small and diversity/veteran– certified businesses.
