Alan Khazei is not a politician - he is a movement leader who co-founded City Year and led the national service movement to launch, protect and grow AmeriCorps. Alan is ready on Day One to lead the effort in Congress to protect our environment, ensure affordable healthcare for all, stop gun violence, address racial injustice and restore the American Dream for working families.
Alan’s Plan for Medway was built by listening to the people of Medway. In Congress, Alan will: Push to invest more in our bus systems to reduce last and first mile traffic by and expanding routes and making bus cycles more frequent. Support small businesses by proposing a small business hiring credit and accelerated depreciation of capital investment for small businesses that hire new workers. Dedicate funding streams to help further support women, minority, and veteran owned small businesses. Address teacher layoffs and retirements by passing the Heroes Act in Congress to secure $4.419,269 in funding for Medway, enough to restore lost positions. Create a Medway Congressional Advisory Board to stay connected to local issues in Medway and ensure stakeholder voices are heard in Washington.
