He is leading the fight against the criminal justice "reforms" pushed through by the Progressive Democrats, particularly the elimination of bail for almost all misdemeanors and many felonies.

He is leading the fight against the ill-advised casino in Medford and is rallying against using taxpayers funds for political campaigns.

He fights for state aid for our area, especially for education funding and municipal aid. He has a close relationship with officials on the federal, county and town levels and works to coordinate government programs and services across his district.

With a long career in public safety, Joe looks out for the men and women who put their lives on the line to protect us.
