I’m proud to be supporting my City Councilor Bill Humphrey for State Representative in the 12th Middlesex District in Newton and Brookline. I believe he will be a superb legislator.
Bill is a good listener and a committed progressive who devotes most of his time to improving the political process. He will be a champion for environmental action, better housing policies, a more reliable transit system, expanded reproductive rights, and an inclusive society for people from all backgrounds. He appreciates the urgency of policy issues the State House will be grappling with in the next term.
Bill is very focused on constituent services. He is receptive to new ideas and highly principled. He talks and writes with great clarity about the issues most of us care about, drawing on years of work as a policy researcher and magazine editor before serving on the Newton City Council.
Bill is still young and has considerable energy to collaborate with other legislators. He will work to address the chronic legislative dysfunction we are all witnessing that has gotten so bad that a legislative session just ended with most issues unresolved.
As a retired clinical psychologist, I’m pleased to know that the Massachusetts chapter of the National Association of Social Workers has endorsed Bill. He has also been endorsed by Reproductive Equity Now, Mass Sierra Club, Progressive Mass, and more than half a dozen labor unions, whose support will be critical to getting legislative action to meet the many challenges we want our legislators to address.
