What an Active State Representative Does
And why it matters for Worcester and West Boylston
A State Representative has real power to shape the state budget and influence where resources go. The difference between a passive representative and an active one is not party or seniority. It is effort and follow through.
An active State Representative does more than vote.
An active State Representative advocates early in the budget process, before decisions are finalized. They work closely with local leaders to understand real needs and bring those priorities directly to state leadership.
An active State Representative fights for fair funding for schools, local services, and roads, and pursues targeted state investments when formulas fall short.
An active State Representative follows the money after the budget passes, pushes state agencies to release funds on time, and tracks projects until they are completed.
An active State Representative is present in the district, responsive to residents, and willing to ask hard questions when communities are overlooked.
This is the kind of representation Worcester and West Boylston deserve.
Strong representation is not about holding a seat. It is about using it.
