On January 2, 2019, I was sworn in to the Massachusetts House of Representatives to bring the voices of the 11th Bristol District to the State House. Since then, I have been working to represent the concerns and issues of my neighbors in the 11th Bristol Disctrict, particularly in Ward 1 Precinct A1, Ward 2, Ward 3 Precincts A, B, C, D, F1, Ward 4 Precincts A1, B, C, D, and F. As many may know, as of January, 2023, Bristol 11th is located entirely within New Bedford as a result of the census redistricting. I am honored to represent one of the minority-majority districts.
As we continue to face housing and inflation challenges throughout the state, and in our city, I am working every day to find help for residents facing hardship, as well as collaborating with local, state, and federal officials to make sure that our community benefits from both funds available to bolster our housing supply, and strategies to continue to bring down inflation.
New Bedford has the opportunity to emerge better than ever through improvements in education funding, early education and vocational training opportunities, and exciting economic development projects. While we are on the right track, there is still much to do in the areas of opioid addiction and recovery and affordable housing opportunities. I will continue to fight for our residents in these and other critical areas.
I remain committed to working hard every day to ensure that 11th Bristol’s needs are made known and our interests are well represented.
All the best,
Chris
