Welcome to Carl's State Representative Campaign Website
For eight years
I have worked hard to represent our community and to be accessible to you.
I have learned a great deal about what is important to families in our
neighborhoods by listening to your concerns, participating in community groups and
neighborhood meetings, and always being available to meet with
residents.
My values have been shaped by what I have learned
both from our community and from my own family's experiences. I
attended public school, put myself through college, and worked in the
public health field prior to my first election. This has led me to
fight for progressive policies that address the needs of working
families and that strengthen our community.
I continue to
prioritize strong public schools, improving public transportation,
making health care and housing more affordable, increasing the minimum
wage, closing corporate tax loopholes, and ensuring equal
opportunities for all.
It is my privilege to serve as your State
Representative, and I appreciate your continued support.
Sincerely,

Carl Sciortino
State Representative
