5 questions · pick the answer closest to your view

1 / 5

Should Massachusetts cut the state income tax rate from 5% to 4% over three years? (A ballot question to do this was removed from the November ballot by the state's highest court in June.)

No. It would mean a huge budget cut, and free school meals and community college would go away.

Yes. Cutting waste and fraud can pay for lower taxes, and high taxes are driving businesses away.

2 / 5

A state law signed in August 2026 (the PROTECT Act) limits civil immigration arrests without a warrant at courthouses, public schools, child care centers, and health care facilities, and keeps state and local police out of federal civil immigration enforcement. Which view is closer to yours?

Oppose it. State and local police should work with federal immigration agents.

Support it. It protects people from immigration arrests in those places.

3 / 5

The MBTA Communities law requires 177 cities and towns in or next to the MBTA service area to allow multifamily housing by right in at least one zoning district. What should the state do?

Enforce it, and hold back some state grants from towns that don't comply.

Stop enforcing it, and give legal help to towns that don't accept its terms.

4 / 5

What role should offshore wind play in Massachusetts' electricity supply?

A supporting role only. Rely mainly on natural gas and new pipelines.

An important role. Keep building it, as part of a mix with solar, gas, nuclear and hydro.

5 / 5

An August 2026 state law removed the four conditions state law had required for an abortion at or after 24 weeks of pregnancy, and left the decision to the physician's professional judgment. Which view is closer to yours?

Oppose how it was passed. Voters should have decided a change like this directly.

Support the law. Patients should make their own health care decisions, not the government.

Every answer is based on the candidate's own public statements.
