<h2>Dear Friend,</h2><img src="https://run.imgix.net/395db8f6-a394-4e13-ba2f-413c67d2e11f/24553d9e-038f-42e1-abdf-4600227794c0/383254a2-2951-49b8-98f1-e462cfca52e4.webp?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=225%2C0%2C3674%2C2508&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="right" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="right" variant="framed">Thank you for visiting my website and for taking the time to learn more about my campaign.<h3>I was born and raised in Watertown, and this district has shaped who I am.</h3>I attended Saint Patrick's School and graduated from Watertown High School before earning my degree from Merrimack College in 1991. The values I learned growing up here—hard work, community, and looking out for your neighbors—have guided me throughout my life and public service.My wife and I raised our five children here, and like so many families, we've experienced the joys and challenges of building a life in Massachusetts. Being a father has taught me the importance of creating opportunities for the next generation and making sure every family has the support they need to succeed.<h4>Long before I was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives, I was involved in our community as a volunteer, youth advocate, and local official.</h4>I've had the privilege of serving on the Watertown Town Council since 2006, working closely with residents to solve problems and strengthen our community. I've also proudly served on the Board of Directors of the Watertown Boys &amp; Girls Club, volunteered with Special Olympics, and spent countless hours as an IAABO basketball official. Those experiences have kept me connected to the people I represent and grounded in the everyday concerns of families across our district.<h4>In 2011, I was honored to be elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives. For the past fifteen years, I've worked every day to be a strong voice for our communities on Beacon Hill. I've fought to improve access to healthcare, strengthen our public schools, support working families, invest in transportation and infrastructure, and make Massachusetts a more affordable and equitable place to live.</h4><img src="https://run.imgix.net/395db8f6-a394-4e13-ba2f-413c67d2e11f/cc3b5f6f-5fa2-41b0-860d-b292a930baed/13f1f37d-ae04-46d3-8b92-c3c228c24b07.webp?ixlib=js-3.8.0&amp;bri=0&amp;con=0&amp;sat=0&amp;high=0&amp;shad=0&amp;usm=0&amp;rect=0%2C0%2C4096%2C3604&amp;w=1500" alt="" caption="" align="left" alignwidth="40" tiltdirection="left" variant="framed">Throughout my time in office, I've believed that good government starts with listening. Whether it's a phone call from a constituent, a conversation at a local event, or a meeting with community leaders, I've always tried to approach public service with the understanding that every person deserves to be heard and every problem deserves serious attention.I remain optimistic about the future of our Commonwealth. We face real challenges—from affordability and housing costs to ensuring quality healthcare and educational opportunities for all—but I believe we can meet those challenges when we work together and focus on practical solutions that improve people's lives.<h4>Serving as your State Representative has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I am grateful for the trust you have placed in me, and I would be honored to continue serving our community.</h4>Thank you for your support, your engagement, and your commitment to making our communities stronger.Sincerely,John

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.

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.

Protecting Vulnerable Communities

As costs rise and federal threats to healthcare funding continue, residents deserve a representative who will protect care, strengthen local hospitals, and lower costs. As Chair of the Joint Committee on Health Care Financing, John has been at the center of some of Massachusetts' most important healthcare debates, bringing together providers, patients, advocates, and policymakers to deliver real results. To lead on healthcare, John has:<ul><li>Fought to protect Massachusetts healthcare from $3.5 billion in federal cuts</li><li>Lowered out-of-pocket costs for life-saving prescription drugs</li><li>Authored and passed legislation to prevent workplace violence against healthcare workers</li><li>Secured $234 million for hospitals, community health centers, and healthcare providers </li></ul>Every family deserves the peace of mind that comes from knowing they find quality care close to home. Good healthcare changes lives. Not only does John understand that, but he's spent his career working to make healthcare more accessible and affordable. He'll continue protecting reproductive freedom, supporting the healthcare workers we rely on every day, and making sure Massachusetts remains a national leader in healthcare for everyone.

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. To increase affordability, John has:<ul><li>Lowered prescription drug costs for Massachusetts residents</li><li>Delivered tax relief for seniors and working families</li><li>Supported investments that reduce household energy costs</li><li>Fought for state budgets that help communities manage rising expenses without sacrificing services </li></ul>Affordability is the issue most important to Massachusetts families today. In kitchen table conversations, what matters is whether a young family can afford a home in the community they love, whether a senior can remain in the neighborhood they've called home for decades, or whether a worker can keep up with rising costs without falling behind. John will continue fighting for economic policies that help residents build stable and secure lives.

Increasing Affordability

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. To support schools and seniors, John has:<ul><li>Secured millions for Newton, Waltham, and Watertown Public Schools</li><li>Secured funding for free school meals for every student in MA</li><li>Wrote law requiring financial literacy courses in schools</li><li>Lowered taxes for seniors on fixed incomes </li></ul>As the father of five, John knows how important strong schools are to families and to the future of our communities. He also understands that the people who spent decades building our neighborhoods deserve support as they grow older. That's why he's fought to invest in students, support teachers, and make life more affordable for seniors. John will continue working to ensure every child has access to a great education and every older adult can remain active and secure in the community they call home.
