Taking On Powerful Interests—And the Congressman Beholden to Them

I’m running to take on Big Pharma and other special interests because Congressman Jake Auchincloss won’t. He shifts the blame while they fund his campaigns.

Drug prices keep rising, yet Auchincloss protects the very industry driving those costs. We can’t afford these prices—and we can’t afford a Congressman beholden to the industries behind them.

Enough is enough.

The solution

Fixing What’s Driving Costs Up

The rising cost of healthcare isn’t an accident—it’s the result of a system that for one, allows pharmaceutical companies to set prices far above what families and taxpayers should be paying.

Instead of addressing those costs directly, Congressman Jake Auchincloss sides with Big Pharma and shifts the blame.

It’s time to stop passing the buck. We need immediate, broad drug price negotiation—without artificial limits on which drugs are included. We can’t keep leaving most of the system untouched while families and towns suffer.

“There were years I couldn’t afford health insurance and went without coverage. Then, when the Affordable Care Act took effect, I was required to buy coverage I still couldn’t afford.”

Upcoming Events

I will be announcing a series of campaign events across the district in the coming weeks, including small gatherings, town-style conversations, and opportunities to meet one-on-one. My goal is to make this campaign accessible and grounded in real conversations—hearing directly from residents about the challenges they’re facing and the changes they want to see. As details are finalized, we’ll share times and locations so everyone has a chance to participate.

I’m very excited to get out into the community, meet people face-to-face, and build this campaign together. This effort is about listening as much as it is about leading, and I look forward to connecting with residents across the district in the weeks ahead.

Lowering Costs

I will take on Big Pharma directly and reform the laws that let them siphon families’ paychecks and deplete our savings.

Bridging the Divide

I will work to unify us around our common concerns — and I will reject the language of division that keeps us apart.

Join US

Let’s Fix Our System Together

I’m taking on Big Pharma and the broken laws that let them siphon paychecks and drain family savings. If you’re tired of rising costs while politicians shift the burden and divide us with rhetoric, join me. Together, we can demand real solutions grounded in science and reason — solutions that actually lower healthcare and housing costs and put working families first.

Lowering Costs

Join us in tackling one of the biggest challenges facing families and towns across our district: the rising cost of living, especially healthcare and prescription drugs. This campaign is focused on bringing those costs down at the source—not just shifting the burden around while people keep paying more.

Volunteers will play a key role in this effort by helping us share this message, engage with the community, and build support for real, practical solutions. If you’re concerned about rising costs and want to be part of a campaign focused on results, we’d love to have you involved.

Science Over Politics

We need to put science and reason ahead of partisan politics. Instead of endless political noise and division, let’s focus on practical, evidence-based solutions that actually work for families. If you’re tired of rhetoric over results, I invite you to join me. Volunteers with backgrounds in science, healthcare, economics, or law — help me develop real, data-driven solutions to lower healthcare costs, fix our broken systems, and build a better future for our district and our country.

Combatting Misinformation

If you’re frustrated by the flood of misinformation coming from powerful interests, PACs, and PR groups — especially during campaign season — I need your help. Join me in combating false narratives and spin with clear, evidence-based facts. Volunteers who value science, reason, and truth over partisan talking points are welcome to get involved. Together, we can push back against the noise, expose what’s really driving up costs, and deliver honest solutions that put working families first.
