Fellow Citizens of Natick & Wayland,

My vision is clear: I want economic dignity for all. 

• For our children and all their little friends, I want affordable education from pre-k to college without the burden of crushing student debt that follows them for decades.

• For our friends, cousins, neighbors, and fellow millennials all over, I seek affordable housing and homeownership.  

• For our aging parents and all those who've earned a dignified retirement, I demand healthcare that is accessible, transparent, and easy to understand without depleting their life's savings or accumulating medical debt. 

To achieve this vision, we must enact comprehensive legislative AND legislator reforms across Massachusetts. It is critical that we prevent incumbent politicians from running unopposed. Genuine progress in an effective democracy can only be realized through active engagement and participation. Like many of you, I’ve become weary of fruitless political debates. Now, it’s time for action—I refuse to remain a mere spectator.

I’ll be candid. I’m not a career politician; I’m one of you. I understand the struggles faced by working-families, students, young adults, and seniors. I know the difficult decisions we have to make on a daily basis, juggling low wages with out of control expenses. I'm not sharing my vision for affordability and economic dignity just to get your votes; I'm committed to that vision because that's the quality of life I envision for my circle of friends and family, most of whom are Massachusetts residents.

I embrace collaboration, transparency, and attentive listening to diverse perspectives. Although I hold moderate democratic views, I often find valuable insights and wisdom found in conservative opinions from my friends and even some family members. Regardless of your political leanings though, affordable education, housing, and healthcare are aspirations we all share for our loved ones and our community.

I know that, together, we can forge a more promising future for Natick and every resident of Massachusetts. Join me on this important journey to enhance the lives of students aiming to reach their full potential, families seeking their first home, and individuals burdened by medical debt.

Sincerely, 

Jaymin Patel
