Why are you running?

As a business owner and contractor, it is difficult to do business in Massachusetts due to unreasonable taxes, fees, and licensing which force small businesses out of business or out of state.


Municipalities are suffering due to huge local aid cuts, with ever-increasing mandates forcing them to make cuts in services.

We've lost a congressional seat in Massachusetts, and it seems to be caused by people leaving the Commonwealth because it keeps getting harder to live here.
