Dr. Raymond Xie was born and raised in Chongqing, China. His family has a long history of public services. His great grand uncle, Shuqian Xie, was a senator in China's first democratic government in 1913. Raymond inherited the tradition and was active in student organizations. He was the class president throughout his elementary, middle school and high school years.
I support lower taxes, free market economics, common-sense regulation and job growth. Our current representative voted NO to farm fuel tax rebate[1], voted NO to suspend state gas tax[2], voted NO to increase the cap on income tax credits for seniors[3], voted NO to lower short term capital gain tax[4] and vote NO to lower estate Tax threshold[5]. These amendments provide meaningful tax relief to our hardworking citizens and seniors at a time of unprecedented surplus. I would vote YES in all those opportunities. I will fight for you to keep Massachusetts affordable.
