Why I’m Running

State decisions shape our schools, taxes, roads, housing, and public safety. Representative Galvin worked tirelessly to deliver vital services to our district, and I am grateful for his years of service. Now we must continue that legacy with experienced leadership that will help our communities grow and thrive.

For 16 years, I have seen how Beacon Hill policies affect families in Canton, Avon, and Stoughton.

I believe service starts in the community. I helped launch Canton’s first girls fast-pitch softball program to ensure young athletes had the same opportunities to compete and succeed. I also worked to bring free full-day kindergarten to Canton, expanding opportunity for our youngest learners and providing meaningful support to working families. Why? Because investing in our youth — whether on the field or in the classroom — may seem like small steps, but they reflect what real success looks like: giving every child the chance to grow, compete, learn, and thrive. My commitment is also deeply personal. Supporting my father through Parkinson’s disease gave me firsthand understanding of the healthcare and aging challenges families face every day.

Simply put, I am running to bring steady, experienced leadership to the State House — focused on families, not politics.

Let’s get to work.
