Hello!
My name is Nick Lazzaro. I am a local business owner, Selectman, and former School Committee member running to be your next State Representative in the 7th Worcester District.
I have decided to run to be a new voice for our residents and small businesses. Now more than ever we need fresh leadership, bold ideas and small business experience that truly reflects our district. Today, small businesses are struggling to stay open, our district is becoming unaffordable, and many residents are struggling to keep up. I will be a fierce advocate on Beacon Hill who will stick up for you. My candidacy is centered on putting PEOPLE before the politics. Solving the real issues we all face. My priorities include addressing the growing affordability crisis, supporting public safety, and promoting small business policies that uplift Main Street.
I own two businesses, Nick's On-Site Detailing Inc., as well as Lazzaro Strategic Advisors Inc. based in Millbury. I carry my degree from the College of the Holy Cross in Political Science and my MBA from Boston College, earning a national fellowship through Reaching Out MBA, all while running both my companies. I understand service to my community as a local public servant and carry the necessary small business experience to deliver results for you.
I humbly ask for your support and vote on November 3, 2026!
Nick on the Issues
Affordability. Now more than ever, families are on the brink. Did you know that 40% of Americans could not cover the cost of a $400 sudden emergency? With rents and mortgage payments skyrocketing, housing supply dwindling, we have an obligation to keep lifelong residents in our community. Young people are struggling to build their lives here, and our seniors are struggling to retire with dignity. We need a thoughtful housing strategy that prioritizes affordability, but also builds on-ramps to the middle class for our young people and our seniors. We need to reign in corporate greed from private equity firms, stabilize rents, and prioritize healthcare access.
Public Safety. I will work diligently to promote crime prevention strategies and local employment opportunities in the community to protect our youth and families. In my time on the School Committee, I worked to foster the relationship between our school resource officers and students. I believe in the expansion of licensed clinical social workers to become a part of the police force, as piloted by neighboring communities. My family comes from law enforcement, where my Grandfather Ralph Lazzaro, served as an officer for over 30 years, and my father was a social worker for over 40 years. Their commitment to service has inspired my reverence and aspirations for public service and has informed my views on community policing, social services, and the need for more support.
Bring Business Sense to Beacon Hill. As a small business owner, I have had to make tough choices, cut costs when revenue drops, or go out of business. Beacon Hill doesn't operate that way. They raise your taxes, and our communities see less and less in return. Our district deserves better—better schools, better roads, and real support for local businesses. I'll treat your tax dollars like a business owner treats their budget: with respect and with results.
Small Business Development. As a local business owner, I understand what the needs of Main Street are. I founded my first company at 18 years old to put myself through college. I made great strides on the School Committee to implement innovation pathways for students interested in business and trades. While on the Board of Selectmen, I also spearheaded the Millbury Farmers Market, which promoted dozens of local vendors and drove economic growth during the critical summer months of the season. If elected, I will work hard to improve pathways for new entrepreneurs, promote existing businesses, and continue to reinvigorate our local economies. Because without Main Street, we do not have an economy.
