The housing market in Boston is one of the most expensive in the country and I will support legislation for more affordable housing in our district.

I support raising taxes on investment income for wealthy residents, and increasing the minimum corporate tax rate, so that companies like Amazon, GE, and Liberty Mutual are paying their fair share.
