Statement

Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Economy and Fiscal

I am proud to have worked with the Baker/Polito administration and my legislative colleagues in a bi-partisan fashion, investing to bring a record number of new businesses and jobs to the Commonwealth and the 4th Middlesex District.

Since 2012, Marlborough, Northborough and Westborough have averaged over 35 new companies and 1,250 new jobs per year.

In 2017 and 2018, MassWorks and other grants authorized by the legislature brought over $10 Million to the district for infrastructure improvements.

We have renewed our commitment to workforce training in order to aid unemployed residents and fill critical gaps with investment in workforce training programs, tech schools and state universities and incentives for manufacturing at all levels.

Lastly, this year I supported a provision to bring back our annual sales tax holiday.
