Let's Think Big about the Three Biggest Problems that affect us locally and globally:

  • Population Growth

Infrastructure Growth  (60 seconds)

As we grow our economy, we need to care about the socio-economic well-being and health of all people.

  • This requires steering our economic system towards helping people and creating wealth, instead of stripping it away and hurting them.
  • Our goal is to ensure a High Quality of Life for all people,
    • Where people can make a living wage,
    • with affordable housing,
    • in safe clean neighborhoods

1. Invest in People

​We Invest in Scientific Innovation by:

  • Directing Federal Funds for Biomedical and Tech Research and Development to Institutions in Our State, to invigorate our existing Innovation Hub;
  • Expanding our State's Infrastructure to Central MA to bolster applied sciences and grow our Innovation Hub;
  • Showcasing Our State as a Forward-Thinking Leader to attract global innovators to our state; 
  • Emphasizing STEM in Education, so our students can meet the needs of Innovation Sector Businesses in MA and meet the scientific needs of the future.

​We do it by

  • Investing in Large Scale Infrastructure Projects and Science to create jobs, grow the economy and the middle class,
  • Prioritizing Health, Family, and Community
  • Prioritizing Education, by:
    • Reforming Higher Education, so people can have less debt and a better education, and
    • Emphasizing STEM and the Trades, so people can have mores skill for our science heavy Future Economy.

It's Time to Think Big and Get Serious

​​​John Keenan refused all invitations to a real debate, where we could challenge each other's policy positions.

We grow our Innovation Hub into Central MA by: building a bullet train and laying the foundational infrastructure for economic growth and population growth in Central MA.

We Should Also Grow Our Innovation Hub in MA

My Strategy for Broad Economic Growth in MA:

(60 seconds)

An "Innovation Hub" is a collection of institutions, like scientific Research and Development companies and Universities, in a close regional proximity that accelerate the rate of scientific breakthroughs.  The innovation and financial sectors in Boston and Cambridge make up our state's Innovation Hub.


An additional benefit, is that Innovation Hubs improve the local economies that surround them by feeding peripheral and support industries, such as local restaurants and construction companies.
