Daily Pulse: October 5, 2026 (16th Middlesex District Debate)

thank you thank you i want to first start by thanking the voters for the primary results we won by over 70 and we couldn't have done this without you so thank you for showing up thank you for voting but not only that of course even if you did not vote for me i am running to represent all of you i have talked to thousands and thousands of you at the doors at local events i know that you were hurting I am ready to fight on day one because I have experience on Beacon Hill, but I also have experience out here in the community holding elected officials accountable when they don't work for the people.

I know that you need housing that is affordable.

You need access to health care.

We need to have to lower the cost of utility bills and we need to fund our public schools.

We need to take care of our people.

I'm ready to bring all of us together because I didn't only hear from you about what's hurting and about the problems are.

I heard also about the solutions because the solutions are right here in the community.

I'm ready to listen.

I'm ready to hold office hours, to hold forums with the community, being present and bringing your voice to Beacon Hill.

So thank you again for trusting me in the primary.

I hope I can have your vote in the general election as well.

And I want to thank Ms. Miller for stepping up to run as well.

This is, you know, an honor to do.

And so thank you, Carl.

All right.

Thank you, Ms. Betts.

Ms. Miller, your opening statement.

I would also like to thank Lorena, as we were discussing earlier before the show.

This may be, we may be making history here with two women who have come down to the general election.

So I just wanted to say I was born and raised in Massachusetts.

I'm married.

I have a daughter and a granddaughter, along with other family and friends who live in Chelmsford and Lowell.

I'm running because I don't want to give up on Massachusetts.

I'm not a politician, nor have I ever worked for one.

I have life experience, common sense, integrity, and I'm a problem solver.
