Issues
Answers that show up in budgets, not speeches.
The same pressures keep coming up across the district: taxes, roads, school funding, public safety, and whether state government actually helps towns. Too often, these problems get discussed instead of fixed.
Affordability
Rising costs are squeezing working families across the district. Nathan will fight for property tax relief, lower energy bills, and a state budget that stops shifting burdens onto local taxpayers.
Accountability
State government needs to be transparent, responsive, and honest. Nathan will hold Beacon Hill accountable — demanding results, not excuses, on the issues that matter most to Gardner, Ashburnham, Templeton, and Winchendon.
Fully Funding Our Schools
Our kids deserve fully funded classrooms. Nathan will fight to fix the school funding formula so rural and regional districts stop getting shortchanged and every student has what they need to succeed.
The District
Four communities. One district. Equal attention.
The 2nd Worcester District is not four interchangeable towns. Each has its own character, its own pressure points, and its own expectations of government. State decisions land here in real budgets, roads, schools, and services.
Gardner
The district's economic and service center, with infrastructure pressure, business development needs, and city responsibilities that ripple across the region.
Ashburnham
A rural-residential community where school funding, regional coordination, and preserving local character all matter at once.
Templeton
A community with strong village identity, real infrastructure strain, and the same pressure many towns feel when state policy does not match local reality.
Winchendon
A town that too often feels farther from Beacon Hill than it should, where distance, economic pressure, and access to services are everyday realities, not abstractions.
What ties this district together is the need for steady attention to the basics and equal seriousness for all four communities.
