Representative Paul Mark has spent his career fighting for the people of Western Massachusetts. His commitment to this work is grounded in his blue-collar background. Paul understands and has lived the same challenges that many in our community are facing today. He also knows firsthand the power that opportunities like higher education, a union job, and access to good healthcare can have.
Democracy is not a guarantee and shouldn’t be taken for granted. Rather it is a responsibility that needs to be protected and preserved. Championing common sense reforms like same-day voter registration, access to the ballot including early and remote voting, stronger public records laws and enforcement, and continued work to keep special interest money out of our politics.
From advancing civics education and community service, forming a youth council for this office, and ensuring accessible constituent services, these are just some of the ways that we foster public participation in our democracy.
