Dear Friends,
On Wednesday, January 6, 2021, I was honored to be sworn into my fourth term as State Representative for the 11th Worcester District. My first three terms exceeded my expectations in every way, and I wake up each day energized and thankful for the opportunity to represent the communities of Shrewsbury and Westborough in such an important capacity. I absolutely love being your State Representative!

“I will seek to work with any and all across the political spectrum who prioritize action over inaction, results over rhetoric and reform over increased revenue. As I look across this historic chamber, I see the history that has been made through compromise and consequence, and I see the opportunity to chart a new course that promises a bright future for my children, and my children’s children. I feel the deep weight of responsibility to be a respectful, articulate and forceful voice in this chamber. I am grateful for the opportunity bestowed upon me and I am ready to get to work.”

I am honored to serve on the following committees:
- Joint Committee on Health Care Financing (Ranking Minority Member)
- Joint Committee on Public Health (Ranking Minority House Member)
- Joint Committee on Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery
- Joint Committee on Racial Equity, Civil Rights and Inclusion
Rep. Kane at the Transportation Committee Hearing on the Governor’s MBTA Legislation
My major committee assignments on Transportation, Marijuana Policy and Public Health have provided me with substantive opportunities to affect major issues facing the Commonwealth, including supporting the Governor’s efforts to “Fix the T” and to work to improve the public health and public safety protections in the law legalizing recreational use of marijuana. Working on Treasurer Goldberg’s Financial Literacy Task Force as the Minority Leader’s designee and serving on Worcester County District Attorney Joe Early’s Central MA Opioid Task Force have allowed me to work with many people representing diverse interests and backgrounds, coming together to propose ways to better educate our youth and support those individuals and their families dealing with the complex issue of addiction. I am also honored to serve on the Special Commission on Local and Regional Public Health and on the Massachusetts Food Policy Council.
Being a part of community events, supporting local charities, attending retirement parties, Eagle Scout ceremonies and local meetings, and acknowledging the significant events in people’s lives is one of the most rewarding aspects of my position. I have also enjoyed hosting visitors at the State House, such as Al-Hamra Academy who I gave my first State House tour to. I welcome every occasion to connect directly with those that I represent.
