  • "The pro-choice movement has been regressing. It’s time we progress our laws to keep up with modern day technology and science. #ChooseLife #ChooseLove" (www.facebook.com)
  • "Do WE want higher taxes, increased regulation, and increased government control OR- continued job growth, stimulated economy, and increased revenue generation? ($1Billion excess in MA budget so far) Simple Question- We finally have a choice! #TermLimits #LovvMA-2 #Change #mapoli" (www.facebook.com)
  • "MA Dist 2 FINALLY has a #Choice : @RepMcGovern The 'Tax Hike Plan': increased taxes, loss of jobs & negative economic impacts. @Tracy4Congress continued decreased taxes, increased job creation, and positive economic impacts." (www.facebook.com)
  • "If Medicare in and of itself was so great, why would so many seniors be choosing private insurance vs the Governments plan for what the Government thinks is whats best for them? #FreedomofChoice" (twitter.com)
  • "I believe in a healthcare system that allows people to choose their doctors, does not block pre-existing conditions for people that were previously insured, and allows small businesses and voluntary associations to join together to get the same insurance discounts as large corporations." (tracyforcongress.com)
  • "I believe that we need to continue to work and protect Social Security and Medicare and ensure that our government keeps the promises that it has made to current retirees and those planning to retire. Unfortunately, Social Security has become another casualty of our broken system, affecting those Americans who need it most. In order to ensure the continued solvency and health of these entitlements, much work needs to be done." (tracyforcongress.com)

  • "So when do we get to repeal ‘qualified Immunity’ for politicians who purposeful chose to politize the use of a life saving drug, deny its use, resulting in countless numbers of deaths across our nation? As of July 22: 8,468 MA COVID deaths in MA, 5,387 in nursing homes. While our Congressman was playing ‘hunger games’ and making fun of POTUS- how many lives could have been saved?" (www.facebook.com)
  • "With ‘qualified immunity’ in the spot light- we are under obligation to discuss how it negatively impacts health services. For instance protecting the State, when they are responsible for the mismanagement & catastrophe in our nursing homes." (twitter.com)

  • "A comprehensive infrastructure bill would result in the creation of well-paying jobs and historically infrastructure investments, in time more than pay for themselves. Passing an infrastructure bill – a serious bi-partisan bill big enough to match the urgency of the situation -- is an economic and national security priority. This is bigger than qualifying for a few needed grants, and I will WORK every day to get it done for our district’s needs." (tracyforcongress.com)
  • "I would 100% be in favor of tax cuts and reduced spending." (twitter.com)
  • "These needs can no longer be neglected. Unfortunately, due to years of negligence the cost of these needed upgrades are astronomical. This obviously cannot be funded solely on the backs of taxpayers, especially within a governmental system that has a history of years’ worth of red tape, spending $400 on hammers and commodes, and ending with questionable products. We need to partner with private industry in order to ensure a most cost effective and efficient implementation. We need to help cut red tape and stream line processes so that projects can be identified and actually completed timely." (tracyforcongress.com)
  • "We can continue to throw our money away toward wasteful spending like @RepMcGovern promotes, OR we can start better policing these agencies and hold them accountable. " (twitter.com)
  • "MA Dist 2 FINALLY has a #Choice : @RepMcGovern The 'Tax Hike Plan': increased taxes, loss of jobs & negative economic impacts. @Tracy4Congress continued decreased taxes, increased job creation, and positive economic impacts". (www.facebook.com)
  • "@RepMcGovern voted against the tax cut claiming increased debt and ‘sky is falling’ hysteria. I would 100% be in favor of tax cuts and reduced spending." (twitter.com)
  • "The CARES Act does exactly ZERO for the majority of small business... We have heard it from local restaurants, from my favorite movie theater in Millbury (story below), and I can tell you first hand Physical Therapy Clinics are not boding well either. To read about all the 'Pork' in that Stimulus package... the Kennedy Center, The Refugees, PBS, Harvard University.... $2 TRILLION Dollars...This is absolutely unacceptable and disgusting." (www.facebook.com)
  • "We already know that much of the CARES Act money was wasted and shouldn’t have gone to places like the Kennedy Center, PBS, and Migration Refugee Assistance and it never should have been received by the likes of Harvard, The Shake Shake, and Ruth’s Chris Steak House.... among others."

  • "At a time when our First and Second Amendments are being challenged on an almost daily basis. I will diligently uphold and protect our Constitution." (tracyforcongress.com)
  • "What's next, banning pipes, springs, fasteners, and duct tape?Protests & riots against Home Depot for supplying the 'Homemade Gun Industry'?More 'MASS-Hysteria'-leading through division and fear." (votesmart.org)
  • "I favor a system that will force insurance companies to compete for their customers with lower costs and higher-quality service. I believe that the federal government should incentivize each state to develop and implement individualized plans that fit their individual needs. I believe in a healthcare system that allows people to choose their doctors, does not block pre-existing conditions for people that were previously insured, and allows small businesses and voluntary associations to join together to get the same insurance discounts as large corporations. We need to expand the use of health savings accounts, allow for insurance purchases across state lines, and give individuals tax deductions or credits so they can buy insurance that fits their needs rather than the federal government dictating their coverage. We also need to help ensure that providers receive equal pay for equal work and that we are not promoting a system that exploits the promotion of gaming systems for financial gain."

  • "In order to help better manage the influx of people, in support of all involved, I believe that we must first and foremost focus on safety and security. We must secure the borders. That begins with fences, walls, more border patrol agents, and technologically advanced security including unmanned aerial surveillance." (tracyforcongress.com)
  • "Senator @tedcruzhas a plan to build @realdonaldtrump's wall and make El Chapo pay for it... Join the fight to #BuildTheWall and support Ted's #ELCHAPOAct" (twitter.com)
  • "Open borders, sanctuary cities, driver's licenses for those here illegally, dividing the population and pandering to defined 'victims', NO to voter ID, NO to Tax cuts, and now promising free stuff to impressionable 16yo's- Can you get any more obvious? #Desperate #KAG". (twitter.com)
  • "We NEED to keep our kids safe! ILLEGAL Immigration cost MA close to 2 BILLION dollars annually. Congress needs to support securing our borders and enforcing our laws, so States can use the money to safeguard our schools." (twitter.com)
  • "While @RepMcGovern is boasting a bill canceling an upgrade to the U.S. nuclear arsenal, Russia is taking a very different approach. I for one do not want to be forced to give up my lunch money to a bully. #PeaceThroughStrength". (twitter.com)
