Meet Alex

I’m a dad, a teacher, a volunteer, and a Massachusetts native. I’ve spent nearly my entire life here—learning in our public schools, earning my degree at Boston College, and raising two boys just a few miles from my hometown. I’ve studied how democracies fail when authoritarians face opposition parties that are too passive. I’m running for U.S. Senate because we need representatives who don’t just say the right things but do them.

We need leaders willing to try even when the odds are stacked against them. I believe in standing up for what’s right, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard. Defending democracy, expanding healthcare, combating climate change, and standing up to bullies isn’t optional—it’s urgent. These aren’t abstract issues—they shape our lives and will shape our children’s futures. Join me.

We all need healthcare, a fair economy, and a safe climate. But solutions to those problems won’t last if courts strike them down, billionaires buy the outcomes, or voters can’t choose their leaders. That means we have to start here:

policy priorities

VOTING RIGHTS protection

Voter suppression and election subversion are on the rise. We need national voting rights legislation to safeguard our democracy before it’s too late.

Reforming the Courts

The current Supreme Court is bought and broken. We need term limits, court expansion, and a real code of ethics — no one is above the law.

NO Big Money in Politics

Democracy doesn’t work when billionaires buy the rules. It’s time to overturn Citizens United, end “Dark Money”, and free lawmakers to serve voters.
