Jen Migliore was a 2016 Democratic candidate for the Ninth Essex District of the Massachusetts House of Representatives.

Campaign themes

2016

Migliore's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Education and Schools

  • Jen is opposed to the adoption of the Common Core standards. Massachusetts Public Schools are the best in the country, and Massachusetts education standards should not be changed. Instead, our schools need more funding and support. As a college graduate and daughter of a teacher, Jen understands the importance of education and will fight for our teachers and public schools. Jen previously served as a mentor at Girls Inc., providing after school programs to encourage and empower young women. If elected, Jen will prioritize the expansion of early childhood education, including universal free kindergarten and pre-K. Furthermore, Jen will work to secure funding for new facilities at Saugus High School and Wakefield High School as well as increased state funding for extracurricular programs.

Infrastructure and Transportation

  • Jen believes that we should be doing everything possible to alleviate the heavy congestion on Route 1 and Route 1A. It is unacceptable that funding for the Copeland Circle project was not distributed this year, providing no relief to the issues on Route 1. In addition to securing the Copeland Circle funding, investing in alternate modes of transportation, especially the Lynn ferry, would be extremely beneficial to the surrounding communities. The ferry is vital for economic development in the North Shore, ensuring that those wishing to invest in Lynn and the Seaport District have easy, accessible means of transportation. Economic development is inextricably tied to the continued operations of the ferry. Additionally, more funding is needed in order to update the water and sewage infrastructure of the 9th Essex District.

Opioids Crisis

  • Massachusetts-and our community in particular-is facing a serious public health problem with the massive wave of opioid overdoses. Lynn and Saugus have the 3rd and 12th highest respective per capita opioid usage rates in the state. Through door knocking, Jen has has heard from families in the district whose loved ones are suffering from addiction. She will fight for the funding to create and expand public health programs that support those ready to seek treatment. She is a proponent of the adoption of Gloucester’s ANGEL program, which has seen great success. This program matches participants with a volunteer mentor and connects them to a quality drug treatment program. Jen is proud of our local police departments and supportive of their efforts to use these programs to remain transparent and in dialogue with the communities they serve.

Environment

  • Jen is adamantly opposed to the Wheelabrator proposed landfill expansion. Wheelabrator, a recycling service in Saugus located near the Salem Turnpike, should not be able to put the surrounding environment at risk for its own benefit. Nowhere else in the area is there an unlined landfill, within which lies a 90-foot-high mountain of ash laden with chromium, lead, and mercury. Under a consent order from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), this landfill should have closed in 1996. Since then, the consent order has been extended nine times. As a state representative, Jen wil fight so that Saugus has the same protections as every other community in Massachusetts.

Working Families

  • Workers deserve paid family and medical leave. Nobody should have to choose between taking care of a loved one and putting food on the table for their family. This is why Jen supports the recently-passed Massachusetts bill, H1718, which will help protect those who are forced to leave work for family or medical emergencies.[1]
