Recent testimony — 194th session
S.401 Bill
An Act relative to climate resilience and coastal protection
Mar 12, 2025
Endorse
"As a representative whose district includes flood-prone neighborhoods along the Connecticut River, I strongly support S.401. Climate resilience is not a partisan issue — it is an infrastructure issue that directly affects the safety and economic wellbeing of my constituents."
H.1204 Bill Primary sponsor
An Act increasing public school funding formulas
Feb 3, 2025
Endorse
"I filed H.1204 because our current Chapter 70 formula has not kept pace with the real costs of educating children in Gateway Cities like Springfield. I welcome testimony from parents, educators, and school administrators who know firsthand what underfunding looks like in a classroom."
Question 5 Ballot question
Minimum wage increase for tipped workers — 2024 General Election
Oct 8, 2024
Endorse
"Question 5 would raise the minimum wage for tipped workers to the full minimum wage over five years. Workers in Springfield's restaurant and hospitality industry deserve predictable, dignified wages. The tipped wage system creates instability that disproportionately impacts women and workers of color."
H.3887 Bill
An Act relative to charter school expansion
Jan 20, 2025
Oppose
"H.3887 would divert resources from our public school system at precisely the moment we need to be investing more in it. While I support educational choice, this expansion is not paired with accountability measures or backfill funding. I cannot support this bill as written."
