"Setti Warren believes that the job of state government is to make Massachusetts a place where people are able to live safe, peaceful and productive lives no matter where they live and regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, wealth, immigration status, or disability. This means being smart about removing the impediments that hold people back, and extending a helping hand to folks who need a little extra support. Right now, too many people and communities are falling behind because state government is not fulfilling its responsibility to ensure that all people have an equal opportunity to succeed."

If you have questions for Setti Warren - the JP Progressives are asking that you submit them via www.slido.com (Event #Q244). Participants will also have an opportunity to submit questions directly at the event.
