Since I was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1988, I have had the privileged responsibility of representing the second largest Senate district, which includes parts of Worcester, Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin Counties. For me, the job is more than just playing an active role in the legislative process, it is being part of the community and helping people solve their problems and improve the quality of their lives. I believe in public service and I have made a concerted effort to make sure that all residents in our district benefit from all that our Commonwealth has to offer.

I am now honored to serve as the Chair of the Senate Committee on Ways and Means, which allows me to work closely on the budget that provides funding to our communities. I continue to enjoy my position in the Massachusetts State Legislature and maintain my focus on serving my constituency. A lifelong resident of Barre, my wife, Val, and I are the proud parents of our two daughters, April and Audrey.
