I am running for the State House because the residents of Ashland and Framingham deserve to be represented by someone who will continue Rep. Tom Sannicandro’s legacy of unparalleled service. For the last twelve years, Rep. Sannicandro has fought for our schools, our families, and our communities, and I would be honored to continue his work on Beacon Hill.

Framingham and Ashland are beautiful, diverse communities. They are the towns where our children’s view of the world is formed; the towns where we work and play; the towns we call home.

My interest in public service began at a young age, and this has led me on a journey around the country and world.  My commitment to public service has exposed me to diverse cultures and taken me into countless homes. This journey led me to be a substitute teacher, a habitation assistant for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, a volunteer on numerous political campaigns, an intern for government offices and non-profit organizations, ordained ministry, and ultimately my current position as the Executive Director of an area non-profit.

I am excited to meet many of the wonderful residents of our district during the coming year. I look forward to hearing about the issues that matter to my neighbors in the district, and discussing the larger concerns facing our Commonwealth. My family and I are investing time in this campaign because we know that the 7th Middlesex District needs a representative who will fight for our schools and communities.

I would be honored to represent our diverse community on Beacon Hill and hope to connect with you in the months ahead. I want to hear about the issues that most affect you and your families. Please email me at jack@electjacklewis.com to share your thoughts or to set up a time to speak.
