Plank 1 · campaign site
Affordable, Accessible Healthcare
“I will work to lower prescription drug costs, expand telehealth so families don't have to drive an hour or wait weeks to see a doctor, and demand full transparency in drug pricing - including clear, upfront disclosure of the difference between the cash price and the insurance price for the same prescription, so patients can actually shop for the best deal.”
Plank 2 · campaign site
OPENING DOORS TO HOMEOWNERSHIP
“Owning a home in Massachusetts should not be out of reach. I will fight for policies that lower costs, encourage smart development, and help families build wealth without punishing success or driving up prices.”
Plank 3 · campaign site
A Responsible Energy Future
“Families should not have to choose between keeping warm and putting food on the table. As an independent voice, I will oppose extreme policies like the Green New Deal and support balanced solutions that lower energy costs, protect jobs, and move us toward cleaner, affordable American energy.”
