"You have a right to your life. You have a right to live it as you see fit. You have a right to your body. You have a right to pursue opportunities to meet your needs and improve your life, and those opportunities should be equal regardless of the circumstances of your birth, your family’s wealth, or the immutable parts of who you are. You have a right to be safe and make yourself safe from anyone or anything that gets in the way of those rights.

"I’m not naive. There are many people inside and outside of government who don’t share these beliefs - people who will seek to harm, take, intimidate, harass, or extinguish people or ideas they don’t like. While I hope for these people to change their hearts, hope is not a strategy. In the meantime, not a single letter of that reactionary garbage should ever be put to paper and legislated in Concord. It’s time to either stop calling ourselves the freest state in the Union or to take regressive ideas like abortion bans, infringements on LGBTQ rights, constraints on educators, over-aggressive law enforcement and punishment, and whatever else they come up with until they come to their senses, and put them in the trash."

"Well rounded education creates good outcomes and produces responsible, informed, and capable citizens - all things we need as our population ages and new generations need to rise to take their place. The classroom isn’t a place to be playing out our Red vs. Blue obsession. Things need to be learned. Actual work needs to be done. If the events, discoveries, and forces of history, biology, and sociology as we understand them today make people uncomfortable, that’s fine. If sets of values are easily destroyed by K-12 curriculums then maybe they shouldn’t be values in the first place. The broad study of the facts of the world and how to put them in context is useful."

"We don’t need a solution - we need a lot of solutions. The time to act was yesterday. First, we need to build a lot more housing, very quickly to make up for lost time. That means freeing up people and developers to fill the need and ceasing to help landlords and established homeowners at the expense of everyone else. People should be able to upzone their property as-right from single to multi-family housing, without onerous approval processes or zoning hurdles beyond health and human safety. Municipalities, including Rochester, should be able to do as they see fit to create affordability in their towns, and if they decide that includes rent control or housing requirements then so be it. Then, we need to keep building so that there is actual competition and let market forces act as they should."
