Thank you to everyone who signed my nomination papers for my run to be our next State Rep! We collected well over the required amount and I am officially on the ballot!
I’m asking for you vote this year to move the 2nd Worcester District forward and make our region stronger.

Gardner High & GFA FCU’s Reality Fair gives students a real-world look at life after graduation—connecting careers to budgeting, expenses, and financial decisions.

Honored to speak at the 3rd Annual Agriculture in Action Expo at MWCC.
With 2+ dozen farms in Gardner, agriculture is a key part of our local economy. Great to see it celebrated alongside partners like @MassDeptAgr, 4-H, FFA & the State Grange.

Joined Greater Gardner Relay for Life’s “Light the Town Purple” to raise awareness for the June 12–13 Relay at MWCC.
Relay has been a pillar here for decades. “No one fights alone” isn’t just a slogan—it’s how our community shows up for one another.

Yesterday the Gardner Golf Course celebrated its 90th Anniversary!
When the course opened, Mayor Timpany hit the first ball to open the course. It was great to remember one of my predecessors and the legacy Mayor Timpany- especially with members of his family there
