People First, Always.
Families, seniors, and small businesses across Central Massachusetts are feeling the pressure of rising costs. As a small business owner and local elected leader, Nick has seen firsthand how decisions made on Beacon Hill affect household budgets, local businesses, schools, and municipal services. Nick is running to bring a new voice to Beacon Hill focused on practical solutions that lower costs, strengthen our communities, and make state government more accountable to the people it serves.
The cost of everyday life is putting too much pressure on working families and seniors. Nick will prioritize lowering energy and utility costs, holding regulated utilities accountable, expanding opportunities for senior property-tax relief, and supporting policies that make it easier for families to afford the communities they call home.
Beacon Hill should be accountable to the people it serves. Nick supports greater legislative transparency, implementation of the voter-approved legislative audit, stronger public access to government, and clear communication with constituents about important votes and decisions. As State Representative, Nick will bring the same approach to constituent service that has guided his work in local government: be accessible, listen, explain your decisions, and get the job done.
As a former School Committee member, Nick has seen how rising costs for transportation, special education, health insurance, utilities, and school operations strain local budgets. He supports reforming Chapter 70, so state education funding better reflects the cost of educating students and communities' ability to meet those costs, while protecting essential classroom programs and local taxpayers.
As a small business owner, Nick understands firsthand what it means to make payroll, manage rising costs, and create local jobs. He will work to cut unnecessary red tape, expand access to affordable health insurance and capital, pursue targeted tax relief, and ensure Massachusetts remains a place where Main Street businesses can start, grow, and succeed.
Strong communities require strong local public safety. Nick supports increasing police staffing where communities need it, expanding School Resource Officer programs, and ensuring police, fire, EMS, and other first responders have the staffing, training, equipment, and resources necessary to serve our communities safely and effectively.
