A Strong Voice for Fair Funding for Worcester and West Boylston

State funding does not happen automatically.

It takes early, persistent advocacy to deliver results for our communities.

I’m running because Worcester and West Boylston need a State Representative who treats advocacy as a responsibility, not a formality.

About Raj

I have served on the West Boylston Select Board for nearly a decade, focused on listening to residents, solving problems, and being careful with taxpayer dollars. I am running for State Representative because Worcester and West Boylston need strong, consistent advocacy for fair funding, safe neighborhoods, and reliable schools.

Proven Leadership

Nearly a Decade of Local Leadership.

West Boylston Selectman for nearly 10 years. PhD scientist at UMass Chan for 30+ years. Led teams, managed budgets, and made tough decisions when others wouldn’t.

Real Results

Built. Funded. Delivered.

Rebuilt Pride Park. Built a modern police station. Opened a new senior center, improved roads and drainage, while protecting taxpayers.

Housing and Homelessness

Building more housing where it makes sense, protecting neighborhoods, and helping people move from the street to stability.

Public Safety and Quality of Life

Supporting accountable police, safer roads, and real solutions that improve neighborhood quality of life.

Schools and Education

Protecting education funding while demanding honest budgets that don’t drive up property taxes.

A Strong Voice for Fair Funding for Worcester and West Boylston

Worcester and West Boylston depend on state funding to support schools, roads, public safety, and essential local services. These resources do not come automatically. They require strong, consistent advocacy at the State House.

As State Representative, I will prioritize securing fair, adequate funding for our district. I ensure this is done by advocating early in the budget process for local aid, school funding, road funding, and targeted state investments. Our communities deserve to receive this monetary attention.

Strong representation means showing up, pushing for more every year, and following through so state dollars reach our neighborhoods.
