I would Love to work with YOU and FOR YOU

A Fighter who will Restore Strong and Commonsense Leadership to the District

Amesbury – Andover – Haverhill – Merrimac – North Andover – Tewksbury – Wilmington


Transparency      --      Cost of Living      --      Increased State Tax Dollars Back to the Town Level


Dear Voters of the Second Essex and Middlesex District as well as Potential Supporters:


Massachusetts is at a clear crossroads. Local citizens are begging for action, with the winds of change in the air nationally.


Running as a political candidate, you inevitably either become an establishment politician who ultimately defends business as usual or you are a candidate that actually challenges the status quo, not only from the other party but importantly your own party as well. Political campaigns and races importantly are about figuring out if a candidate is strong enough to stick with his or her principles when the pressure inevitably intensifies to conform to the desires and thoughts of the traditional political power players.


One thing is for sure: people are ready for a real change in our state, with the grassroots completely fed up with the feckless leadership and Country Club mentality of standard politics in Massachusetts. People need leadership they can truly believe in that respects the will of the good citizens of the Second Essex and Middlesex District and beyond.


The many difficult challenges now facing our State Senate District and more broadly across Massachusetts are much too great to ignore, with many long-time residents fleeing or considering leaving. Whether it be school district finances; crumbling infrastructure; the business climate; cost of living; erosion of personal and family freedoms; our health and safety; or the ill effects of identity politics on our sense of community, the need for a significant shake-up is clear. State-level political apathy is no longer acceptable.


Did you know Massachusetts is at the very bottom of the nation in terms of private sector job growth? We are near the bottom as well in terms of our unemployment rate; our finances are in shambles; and, of course, there is the issue of having the least transparent state government in the entire country. I am committed to doing whatever I can to help the cause.


Communities in our State Senate District have been abandoned by weak and disengaged “leadership” from the Massachusetts Statehouse. Communities such as Amesbury in our District are being torn apart by contentious local tax override debates that have been necessitated by the failures on Beacon Hill and our state representation, and, yet there is nothing but silence or empty words and know hope for real action from existing representation that we have had for far too long in the Second Essex and Middlesex District. Much more careful use of hard-working taxpayer money and resources needs to occur from our state government by eliminating the insider games, political favors, and bringing real sunshine to operations in the Statehouse.


I am a passionate individual who is not afraid to state in plain English what needs to be said and is willing to take on challenges and fight across the board for the betterment of people around me. I will not hide behind law degrees or stay insulated via “political connections.” I have proven myself in various rings time and again for standing up for what is right regardless of the outcome, including potential negative blowback to my own personal well-being from connected jaded individuals and institutions that cannot handle being called out for the negative games they play that hurt ordinary citizens.


You may not agree with everything I stand for (and that is okay, as vigorously debating the issues is a good thing), however, I will always listen to all points of view and I am always open to hearing differing thoughts, opinions, and adjusting my point of view based on strong arguments from others. That said, I am unwavering in my beliefs of a few core ideals that go to the base of who I am: free speech; health rights; and personal/family rights based on the founding principles of this great nation. At a general political level, I am unabashedly America First. I believe in the traditional American values of personal responsibility and empathy, and against looking to cut corners for convenience and strongly against the disease that has impacted so many modern politicians which is looking to make excuses and pass the blame. We need to get people feeling proud again to be a part of this great nation and great state and reinvigorate the traditional can-do spirit of Americans. Too many modern leaders and politicians have emphasized negativity, excuse making, and scapegoating of others that has brought unfortunately, too much defeatism in the hearts of people. This, at the core, is what needs to be addressed with our politics to get people genuinely excited again about possibilities and feeling better about themselves and our communities. This can only happen with new political leadership sweeping out our tired form of politics.


These beliefs guide me in developing my opinions on critical policy issues and topics I will be running on during this Senate campaign and what I would fight for if blessed to be elected to Beacon Hill: government openness and transparency; decentralizing state power to bring back more decision making to local communities and families by cutting back on Beacon Hill bureaucracy; family and health rights; more funding support for school districts and basic community infrastructure; better small and large business support; and actually addressing housing and cost of living issues. 


I am uniquely qualified having proven myself as someone who has worked across the political board and across the aisle and as a fighter. I am adept at coalition building having been involved as a leader in many grassroots activists projects of high importance. I would love nothing more than to bring the fight to the Statehouse to fight for YOU. 


If you like what you hear, please donate to the cause. We are going to build something special. Also, please reach out with thoughts on this campaign, let us know what issues are important to you, and please don’t be shy about letting our campaign know how best you can help to take back our district and state! We’ve already connected with many amazing people and groups but we are greedy and want to collaborate with all good people out there. We look forward to building momentum with YOU!


I am proudly running for the Second Essex and Middlesex Senate seat as a Republican for the November 2026 election cycle to help bring more transparency and commonsense leadership to our state’s political system and I welcome working with other candidates who feel the same way. The time is now. Let’s do this.
