Democracy & Transparency
Beacon Hill remains one of the least transparent legislatures in the country. If elected, I will work to:
- Ensure the full implementation of the voter-approved 2024 audit.
- End the public records exemptions currently shielding the Governor’s Office, Legislature, and Judiciary.
- Seek a seat on the House Committee on Post Audit and Oversight.
- Eliminate consolidated budget amendments that obscure important votes from public view.
- Require the House to debate the full budget in open session, accessible to both the media and public.
- Establish an independent, non-partisan agency modeled on the Congressional Budget Office to analyze Massachusetts’ state budget and economy.
Economic Justice & Tax Fairness
For too long, people in our state have been forced to pay more for less. If elected, I will work to lower the cost of living for seniors, young people, and working families by:
- Banning “spread pricing” by pharmacy benefit managers to lower prescription drug costs.
- Raising the Massachusetts Child and Family Tax Credit from $440 to $1,750 per child, making it refundable—so families can receive the credit even if they owe no state income tax—and raising the eligible age limit from 13 to 17.
- Increasing taxes on Massachusetts-based corporations that shelter profits in offshore tax havens.
- Implementing a graduated income tax rate to ease the financial burden on seniors, young people, and working families.
Universal Healthcare
I will co-sponsor and vote for legislation to establish a statewide universal healthcare program in Massachusetts. Our state has been a national leader in healthcare before, and we can do it again. Everyone deserves a life free from the fear of the financial burden of chronic disease and from the soul-destroying bureaucracy of the American health insurance industry. Let's bring an end to copays, deductibles, and surprise bills. Healthcare is a human right, and I will treat it that way.
Digital Regulation & Consumer Protection
Big Tech should not be allowed to profit from exploiting our personal data. As someone with experience working in AI, I understand the speed at which this issue is becoming more pronounced. If elected, I will work to:
- Criminalize the creation of AI-generated child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
- Ban “therapist chatbots” from treating patients without disclosure.
- Ban surveillance pricing in Massachusetts.
- Mandate the disclosure of the use of AI in healthcare.
Running a Transparent Campaign
Throughout this campaign, I will practice what I preach by:
- Not taking campaign contributions from corporate PACs or lobbyists.
- Making my campaign's OCPF reports readily available to the public by publishing them on social media and linking them here on my website for all to see.
