JOHN DEATON FOR SENATE INC.

Families in Massachusetts are doing everything right and still falling behind. We’re the second most expensive state to live in the country, wages aren’t keeping up, and the college bill is out of reach for too many. Beacon Hill celebrates test scores, but what happens after graduation? Too many young people are forced into predatory student loans that follow them for decades. That’s not success. That’s a broken system. When I make it to Washington, I’ll do everything I can to give Massachusetts families real options to find affordability where the state has failed them because Massachusetts families and the next generation deserve a real chance to get ahead, not just get by.
