Issue Position: Advocacy for Pittsfield

Issue Position

When I have gone door to door, people have told me that they don't think government works for them. People are tired of the politics of "NO". They want to see someone in office that cares about their problems and is willing to work with others to solve those problems. I have a proven track-record of leading through collaboration. We find common ground and work towards a solution. This is the kind of leadership Pittsfield needs.

You want a state representative that represents you. Family is my top priority. I am a working mother with three children and have aging parents. I am a homeowner and taxpayer. I understand the long and short term challenges that families have to face and plan to make this my driving force and motivation while in office.

The state representative for Pittsfield has the advantage of working with one mayor, one city council and one community. Where other state representatives have to balance the many needs of different communities, all of my energy can be invested in advocating for the City of Pittsfield. It is in the best interests of everyon for the state representative and the city government to have a strong working relationship, and my ability to work with others will help to move the city forward.

The processes of State government can be burdensome and frustrating. Yet, it is the state representative's job to tough out these processes, ensuring that the interests of Pittsfield and its families are met. This means advocating for and securing funding and grants that will improve YOUR everyday life.
