Writing to you for the first time as your State Representative-elect for the 3rd Berkshire District, I feel more deeply invested than ever in the future of this community we all cherish. In all the ways we may be connected — as neighbors, friends, parents, workers, volunteers, and Americans — I am sincerely humbled by the opportunity we have to move forward together. This victory is for hard-working residents in need of affordable housing and small businesses striving to stay afloat. It’s about protecting our beautiful yet fragile environment by addressing the urgent need for sustainable solutions and maintaining our roads and bridges to keep them from falling into dangerous and costly disrepair.
