“In the League of Women Voters debate for the 12th Middlesex House race, Bill Humphrey stood out as the most qualified candidate on the issues and on his readiness to do the job of State Representative. He will be a strong partner in advancing Governor Healey’s ambitious climate, transportation, and housing goals and in protecting reproductive rights. He has a superior command of the issues facing us as a state and a vision for how to actively advance policy at the Statehouse.” – Liz Hiser, Newton Ward 6 Community Volunteer

I’m Newton City Councilor Bill Humphrey and I’m asking for your vote for State Representative in the September 3rd Democratic Primary for the 12th Middlesex District of Newton & Brookline.
I’m running because Massachusetts should be a Commonwealth for everyone and a Beacon for the nation.
I have already personally knocked more than 5,700 doors. Voters agree: Massachusetts should be leading the way:
We need a Green New Deal that gets us off fossil fuels with economic justice, controls flooding, and builds hundreds of thousands of green homes for young adults, seniors, and families.
We need to restore a public transit system and road network we can be proud of.
We should create universal pre-K and daycare, properly fund our K through 12 schools, and expand public higher ed.
We should finally establish universal healthcare, including abortion and maternal health, and address mental health and substance use with more health services, not criminalization.
We deserve an inclusive society for everyone.
It’s time to stop studying the problems and start implementing the policies we already know work. It’s time to get the Massachusetts House of Representatives moving again.
I will continue to be a responsive elected official with strong communications, political courage, and vision.
I’m endorsed in this race by the Mass Sierra Club, Progressive Mass, the Mass Nurses Association, 1199 SEIU, the Newton Teachers, Mass Alliance, the Progressive Democrats of Massachusetts, the Ironworkers Local 7, and many others. Visit billhumphrey.org to learn more about my platform. Thank you.
