As a straight, white, male, I will never experience the same systemic prejudices and inequalities that many in our community confront each day. I will never be able to “walk a mile” in your shoes” to understand what it is like. But I can pledge to be a representative who will be accessible to YOU and to listen to YOU. You will have my promise that your words, experiences, and challenges will be ever present in my thoughts and dialogue and I will work each day as a fearless and unapologetic advocate to translate your voice into concrete and actionable steps on Beacon Hill.
