Margaret was born in Georgia, just outside of Ft. Benning. Her family often struggled to make ends meet, and she dropped out of high school at the end of her junior year to help. While working full-time, she acquired her General Equivalency Diploma at age 17.
As State Representative, I will serve the First Middlesex District full-time, and with the same passion, commitment, and record of accomplishments with which I serve Pepperell, currently as a member of the Select Board, and prior to that, as a leader on various community issues, including the proposed toxic dirt project.
This District deserves full-time representation in order to fully understand each town’s needs, and then address them in a robust, timely way. I have been this full-time partner for Pepperell, including creating regional opportunities such as the municipal climate change collaborative (which covers Congresswoman Lori Trahan’s entire district), and supporting dispatch regionalization opportunities with Ashby and Townsend. I will continue to be that full-time representative for the entire First Middlesex District.
In order to be transparent to the voters of Pepperell, I post regular updates on my work and priorities, and I will continue to do so as your state representative. Additionally, I will hold monthly office hours open to all community members, because I am committed to establishing vibrant and meaningful lines of communication with residents and local officials to best serve our District.
