John's Top Priorities

For more than fifteen years, John Lawn has delivered results for Newton, Waltham, and Watertown. As our communities face new challenges, John remains committed to effective leadership that tangibly improves your life.

Leading on Healthcare

As costs rise and federal threats to healthcare funding continue, residents deserve a representative who will protect care, strengthen local hospitals, and lower costs. John has spent his career working to make healthcare more accessible and affordable.

Supporting Schools & Seniors

Strong public schools and support for older adults are at the heart of what makes Newton, Waltham, and Watertown such great places to live. Families deserve schools that prepare students for success, and seniors deserve the opportunity to age with dignity, independence, and security in the communities they helped build.

Increasing Affordability

Too many families are feeling squeezed by rising costs. Whether it's housing, healthcare, groceries, or energy bills, people across Newton, Waltham, and Watertown are working hard but finding it harder to get ahead. Families deserve leaders who understand these challenges and are focused on making Massachusetts a more affordable place to live, work, and raise a family.

Tackling Climate Change

Climate change is no longer a distant threat—it's a challenge we're already facing here at home. From stronger storms and flooding to rising energy costs, the impacts are being felt across our district. Meeting this moment requires leadership that protects our environment while building a cleaner, more resilient future for the next generation.

Protecting Vulnerable Communities

With your support, John will continue standing up for vulnerable residents, defending fundamental rights, and working to build communities where every person feels welcome, valued, and able to thrive.

Improving Infrastructure & Transportation

Our communities deserve infrastructure that keeps pace with our needs and prepares us for the future. John will continue fighting for investments that make transportation safer, more reliable, and more accessible.

Fighting All Forms of Hate

Hate has no place in Newton, Waltham, Watertown, or anywhere in Massachusetts.  John will continue standing up for the values of inclusion and mutual respect that make our district such a special place to call home.
