The people of Massachusetts deserve Representatives in Congress that are willing to fight for them when it matters most. Our current representative has routinely shown up last to the fight for healthcare, criminal justice reform and economic justice. We cannot keep making excuses for his absentee leadership. 

The community of the MA-8th deserves bold activist grassroots leadership.  I've spent my life working just to survive. I want to bring this energy to Congress. We can deliver; improved transportation infrastructure so that we the people can have access to high paying jobs, increased protections for workers in our gig economy and tuition free public college.  

Our team is passionate about economic, educational and racial justice for working class families throughout our district and Massachusetts at-large. We have no insider political connections and do not take direction from DC consultants or lobbyists. We are here to take direction from you, the people.

Throughout this district people are suffering because of the COVID pandemic and people were suffering before the pandemic. Here's how: 

Working people cannot afford rent! 

Working people cannot afford healthcare! we pay thousands of dollars per year just to have 'access' to extreme healthcare deductibles. 

Public transportation is among the worst in the nation and we have to choose between groceries or paying a utility bill. 

We deserve to know why our leaders have made policy decisions that work against us instead of FOR us. 

The people of the MA-8th deserve better. That's why I'm running for the Democratic Nomination for Congress in the MA-8th Congressional District. Working class people have been shut out of the conversations in Congress for too long. 

I was raised by a single mother in a poor neighborhood after my father died from chronic substance abuse. My mother worked tirelessly to send me to a good school in our neighborhood so that I could have a chance at college. Unfortunately, I dropped out of HS and got a GED so that I could work full-time. Eventually, I went on to become the first person in my family to go to University and obtain a bachelor's degree. I went on to earn 2 master's degrees in engineering and business administration. All the while working full time and part time jobs just to make ends meet. I've been a dishwasher, a forklift operator, a research assistant, I've stocked shelves as an overnight worker, etc. I have never stopped working. So I am uniquely qualified to be a champion for workers. 

Here's the ASK: 

Running for Congress is expensive. I am refusing to accept corporate PAC money so that I am accountable to you. To the people of the MA-8th. Small dollar donations $2, $3 will get this campaign kicked off. 


Can you help us be competitive early on and contribute $2,$3, or even $7 to our campaign? 

I promise to never stop fighting for you! 

- Michael
