Priorities
Times are tough. We have all been affected in ways unimaginable even a few years ago. Now, we must make critical decisions that will shape our community for many years to come. We have incredible opportunities to revitalize our communities, recharge our economy, and rebuild Massachusetts. If we invest wisely in ourselves, we can truly create a brighter future for all.
“I work for you.” ~Russell Holmes
