In 1996 my wife Nikki and I rented our first apartment as a married couple in Bourne.After 4 years of paying off student loans and building up our savings, we purchased our first home in Bourne.In 2001 and 2004 we welcomed our two sons – both born at Cape Cod Hospital. As a young family, we settled in the Bourne community, volunteering and in civic service with town boards and committees.
Within days of the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization which over-turned Roe v. Wade and ended federal protection of women’s right to privacy, reproductive health, and bodily autonomy, I publicly announced my position in support of women's reproductive rights.
Since that time, the prospects of a national abortion ban being passed following the 2022 general election spurred me to take an even stronger stance in support of women's reproductive rights.
If a national ban on abortion is passed, I pledge that as District Attorney I will never prosecute someone for seeking or getting an abortion. I will use my legal discretion and not prosecute anyone for seeking or getting an abortion, providing abortion care, or information.
