“I grew up in Cambridge public housing, raised by parents who worked hard but still struggled to meet some of our most basic needs. My father was a Vietnam veteran who carried the invisible wounds of undiagnosed PTSD, and my family experienced challenges that too often go unseen.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026)) “Growing up in public housing taught me that poverty is not an identity or an inevitability. It is shaped by the choices we make through our budgets, laws, and public policies.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection (2026)) “As Chair of the Joint Committee on Public Health, I have fought to eliminate inequities in health care. I led reforms to stop insurance companies from overriding decisions made by patients and their doctors by improving step therapy and prior authorization laws.”
