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.
We need to stop demonizing and defunding the law enforcement. Across Massachusetts, police chiefs say hiring and retaining officers is a challenge.
