My Priorities as Your Representative
Burrillville and Glocester face ongoing challenges, from overreaching state government, limited educational options, and the need for a modern economy that supports local workers and businesses. As House Minority Whip and a member of key committees, I focus on practical solutions that return power to local communities and families.
Key Focus Areas
Local Control & Reducing Unfunded Mandates
I continue to push legislation that eliminates burdensome state mandates on municipalities. These mandates strain local budgets and limit the ability of elected town councils to set property tax rates that reflect community priorities.
Expanding Educational Opportunities
Families deserve more choices. I have introduced legislation to support non-traditional education models and allow local communities to adopt innovative approaches—such as all-charter public school options—through democratic votes by town councils, school committees, and residents.
Supporting a Maker & Gig Economy
I advocate for policies that foster specialized, customized work and protect independent contractors and gig workers with appropriate benefits and safeguards, helping build a resilient local economy.
Ending Crony Capitalism & Supporting Local Businesses
I oppose corporate giveaways that benefit insiders. My focus remains on providing real support and resources for locally owned and operated businesses that drive our communities.
