I was honored to be elected three times to represent the 13th Essex District in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1991-1997. My experience in the House and my continued involvement in Danvers and Peabody since then make me the best candidate to serve this district as we deal with the fallout of COVID-19 and beyond.
We are sorely lacking in good public transportation in our area. Danvers is served by two bus routes that revolve around the Liberty Tree Mall. We can do better. I will work with our local officials and the MBTA to reimagine our bus routes and explore regional approaches to improving access to public transportation that serves our communities in a much broader, cleaner fashion that makes sense.​
I will work with our Highway Department to increase safety on our state roads and address transportation needs in the 13th Essex District.
More broadly, our state's public transportation system is vital to a strong economy. It's also a climate issue; I support the Transportation Climate Initiative.
