A Man With A Sign...
Rob always loved to listen to talk radio, even as a kid, it was fascinating to him to hear about the ins and outs of politics. He began attending and participating in local town meetings around 2003. He filmed the Tea Party on Boston Common in 2009 and decided to begin using his video skills to document political rallies and report on issues affecting every day working people. He ran and won a seat as a Town Meeting Member in Milton, completing a 3-year-term. He became disallusioned with the town meetings when he realized most of the people involved weren't concerned with the town business and operations, but with satisfying their own interests and lining their own pockets. After over 2 decades of participating in local meetings, protests, and public actions, and seeing first hand how every American citizen was drastically affected by Covid-19 Restirctions and lockdowns, he realized none of our elected officials are doing what needs to be done to get the people back on track and repair our suffering economy. Seeing a lack of action being taken by our representatives and party leaders , Rob decided it was time to jump in the ring and run for US Congress himself, in 2022. With very little help, and no party backing, Rob ran a grassroots campaign for MA 8th Congressional District, resulting in 31% of the votes against incumbent Stephen Lynch.
Rob is just a Regular Guy running to make Massachusetts Great Again. .
