Dear Community Members of 10th Bristol District, 

​

I am Joe Pires, and it is with heartfelt sincerity and dedication that I step forward as a Republican Candidate for Massachusetts State Representative. Living among you in this vibrant community, I have come to understand the challenges that touch each of us, and  I am committed to advocating for our community's well-being and prosperity.

​

Our district, embracing Southcoast, embodies a wealth of promise and potential. My purpose is to be your voice—a steadfast ally in state governance, driven by a deep-seated desire to bring about positive change in our daily lives.

​

Migrant Crisis

Our economy, resources, and essential services face unprecedented strain, threatening the quality of life for our hardworking residents. Join me in addressing these challenges head-on to safeguard our community’s prosperity.

​

Tackling Economic Challenges
Advocating for policies that address the rising property taxes and overall cost of living, ensuring the upholding of our community's standard of living. Creating a business-friendly atmosphere that boosts local businesses, generates employment opportunities, and supports the middle-class. (Our standard of living for middle-class citizens  is under threat.)

​

Offshore Wind

We are faced with challenges posed by offshore wind projects in Massachusetts. From skyrocketing electricity costs to environmental impacts and threats to the fishing industry, we need a balanced approach to protecting both our communities and economy ensuring a sustainable future for Southcoast.

 

Revolutionizing Education

In education, my belief is firm in providing our students not just with academic excellence but also with practical skills essential for their success in the professional world. By forging partnerships between educational institutions and industries, we can tailor our curriculum to meet the dynamic demands of the job market, ensuring our graduates are well-prepared for the future and can maintain their standard of living. I am deeply committed to the safety and well-being of our children. I believe that we must take a proactive approach to ensuring that our schools are safe and secure, and I will work tirelessly to advocate for policies and procedures that prioritize student safety. 

​

Supporting Law Enforcement and First Responders

Ensuring our law enforcement and first responders are well-equipped with the necessary resources, training, and support to safeguard our community. I am resolute in my commitment to advocate for resources, training, and equipment to protect those who selflessly serve and protect us, ensuring they have the resources they need to do their job.

​

Supporting Our Seniors
Committing to the well-being of our senior citizens by advocating for accessible healthcare, community support programs, and initiatives that address social isolation, ensuring they can age with dignity and maintain their standard of living. Our senior citizens are valued members of our community. I will tirelessly work to enhance their quality of life while maintaining their standard of living.

​

Addressing Opioid Crisis
Combatting the surge in opioid use and fentanyl-related deaths, particularly among Gen Z. Raising awareness about the dangers of fentanyl in street drugs, often unknown to users. Supporting measures to reduce fentanyl distribution and its devastating impact on our community.

​

Together, we can create a future for the 10th Bristol District that shines bright with opportunity, safety, and community support. I, Joe Pires, am dedicated to listening to your concerns, hopes, and dreams, making them the foundation of my mission as your representative. Your vote, trust, and support are crucial as we strive to build a community where not just the middle-class but every resident can thrive, preserving the standard of living that we all cherish.

​

Thank you,
Joe Pires
