I am pleased to announce my candidacy for State Representative in the 8th Worcester District.  My district includes the towns of Douglas, Dudley and Webster, the 4th Precinct of Oxford, and the 3rd Precinct of Uxbridge.

I am currently in my second term on the Uxbridge Board of Selectmen.  I was first elected in a special election in October of 2005 and re-elected in May of 2007.  In my time on the Board of Selectmen, it's become obvious to me that there has been a fundamental breakdown of trust between our leaders on Beacon Hill, our local community leaders, and the public whom we serve.

Having come from a hard-working close knit family, I recognize and have not lost touch with the challenges that are faced by each and every one of us.  Challenges in making ends meet financially.  Challenges in raising a family in times that are socially and morally difficult.  Challenges in dealing with uncertain job and housing markets.  And challenges in dealing with a government that doesn't respect our rights or opinions on matters that are important to us.

It's time for change, and I want to be part of that change!

My goals are simple:  Improve the financial strength of our towns through controlling taxes and keeping less of your tax dollars at the State House.  Protect parental rights through common sense legislation, because no one knows or loves your children more than you do.  Encourage the retention and expansion of jobs by becoming more business friendly.  Provide an open and trustworthy government by honoring and respecting the processes of ballot initiatives, referendums, and other means of gaining public input.

Obviously, no one legislator can accomplish this on their own.  But change can start with a single seat in the State House or with a single vote - yours!  I'd be honored if you'd trust me with your vote.

Please check back often as we'll be updating the site on a regular basis.

Regards,

Kevin
