Su has spent her life fighting for the causes she believes in and working tirelessly to support her family and improve the lives of her neighbors and friends. Su grew up in a hard-working family that struggled to get by. She learned at a young age the realities faced by so many parents who struggle to cover the bills and put food on the table.
Across the Commonwealth, housing access and costs are distressing too many individuals and families. Finding solutions to this problem is as critical as any issue facing Massachusetts right now.
Chapter 40B is a law that has helped to increase the number of affordable housing units in the Commonwealth. However, like many well-intended pieces of legislation, local issues have arisen during its implementation.
Senator Moran believes that we must think outside the box, and is a champion of housing strategy diversification. Her years of local leadership gives her important perspective on the issue of housing and development, and Senator Moran knows that prudent re-zoning and the purposeful redevelopment of languishing, single-use properties can allow our communities to be less wasteful and improve quality of life.
Su is committed to bringing forward-thinking approaches to providing both new and established families with local access to the amenities that they need and desire, all within a reasonable distance from home. She is adamant that residents of this district should not be expected to commute long distances for employment opportunities, or to meet their basic needs.
This issue is a centerpiece of ensuring that families are able to remain in our district, and that children are able to envision a future for themselves right here where they grew up. Senator Moran will continue to lead on this issue.
