Mike believes the first job of a State Representative is to be active in the community they represent, and to see and hear what matters most to their constituents. The 12th Norfolk District deserves an enthusiastic Representative who is full of energy and eager to bring progressive ideas to the forefront. The Commonwealth must be leading the way on transparency, education, and the climate crisis, and Mike is uniquely positioned to fight for these causes.
