Jenny’s Priorities

I am laser-focused on the issues that matter most to residents of Marblehead, Swampscott, and Lynn. Whether fighting climate change, working to ensure our kids and teachers have the resources they need to emerge from the pandemic healthy, safe, and supported, or seeking to find creative solutions to make our communities more affordable, I will always be a pragmatic problem solver. Below I have detailed policy plans that lay out my priorities. Check them out — and come back over time for more!

  • Climate Change

    We have to push for continued aggressive environmental action across all sectors and changes to public policies at every level of government. In Massachusetts, the 2021 Climate Act provides a solid roadmap, but how we get there requires thoughtful approaches to decarbonizing our communities and building a healthier planet for future generations.

  • Schools

    We have a collective responsibility to make all of our public schools safe and supportive environments where teachers and staff feel valued, and students can gain critical skills necessary to be successful in school and life. The past two plus years have been hard on all of us, but they were particularly hard on students and parents. It is critical that as we emerge from the pandemic, we pay special attention to our children, who have had to endure a confusing, and sometimes traumatic, upending of daily life.

  • Affordability

    Marblehead, Swampscott, and Lynn are acutely feeling the effects of rising prices on our daily lives. We need a State Representative who will prioritize policies that bring down costs for residents, and commit to following through on our incredible potential to be the most desirable place to live and work in Massachusetts. This is why I am proposing a 3-part plan to address rising costs of living, with each part focused on the following issues: housing, prescription drug costs, and public transportation.

  • Reproductive Rights

    We’re at a critical point in our nation’s history: The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade, a legal precedent that protected a woman’s right to privacy and abortion access for nearly 50 years. We must take immediate action in order to stay a national leader in the fight to protect women’s reproductive freedoms.
