Join Our Team

Dear Neighbor,
I am pleased to announce my candidacy for the 5th Middlesex State Senate district. I’ve learned that hard work, independent leadership, and a commitment to the concerns of local families can produce great results, and I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished in the legislature since first being elected to represent Stoneham and Winchester in 2008.

I’ve long admired State Senator Katherine Clark. She was an excellent Representative, an excellent Senator, and will be a great leader in Congress. She leaves big shoes to fill, but I know that I can bring the same commitment and hard work to the office that I’ve shown as a State Representative.

We’ve had great support so far and I’m looking forward to getting to know the families of Malden, Melrose, Reading, and Wakefield as I seek to earn their support and their votes for the special state Senate election.

To stay up to date on the progress of our campaign, please sign up for our email list, and I also hope that you will consider contributing to help support the efforts of our growing campaign team.

Best,
Jason
