About a year ago, my daughter asked me, “Mommy, what’s going to happen to us?”
I realized I needed an answer worthy of the people who came before us — the ones who faced crisis and uncertainty and chose to act instead of look away.
I grew up in Sutton, spent decades telling stories around the world as a filmmaker, and came home.
I’m running for State Representative because this district deserves honest leadership, fresh ideas, and someone willing to confront difficult problems instead of hiding behind political talking points that go nowhere.
The Blackstone Valley helped build America once before. If we remember how to build together again, I believe this district can show the country what communities can achieve. Just like my films, I want people to look at this district and say: "I didn't think of it that way. Look what they did."
Education
Education is national security. In an era of AI and algorithm-driven information, a strong public education system is our best defense — and our best offense.
Energy & Utilities
The cheapest energy is the energy you never have to buy. Energy costs are too high, and the people profiting from the status quo would rather blame environmental regulations than fix outdated infrastructure, enable efficiency, or reckon with global energy instability — because lower bills mean lower profits.
Affordable Housing
Working families deserve housing that's actually affordable — and dated state laws need to catch up with the developers exploiting its loopholes, including the exclusion of quality union labor and licensing.
Reviving our region
We live in the birthplace of the industrial revolution, and it’s time to renew that claim with a renaissance of small business, innovation, and culture in the Blackstone Valley.
A.I. & The Future of Work
AI can be a powerful tool for workers and communities — but only if we set clear ethical guardrails and ensure it strengthens, not replaces, human judgment and livelihoods.
Seniors
From rising costs to health care to the quiet crush of the sandwich generation, seniors and their families deserve a real seat at the table.
Clean water
As cancer rates rise, our drinking water needs to be universally tested for toxins like PFAS so we can assess and respond.
