ANTHONY ALLARD

MA State Senate, Worcester & Hampden District

Anthony Allard is a working-class, union, construction worker from Monson and he calls the Monson community home. He grew up as one of ten children. His mom was a police officer and his father was a truck driver and they instilled in him the values of family, hard work, and public service. The skyrocketing cost of housing on the hard working residents of his district is one of the issues Anthony is passionate about. He was heartened by the fact that Massachusetts recently passed a new housing law that will fund new homes in the state and he has pledged that he will work to ensure the Worcester & Hampden district receives its fair share of this new funding.

PAUL DEPALO

The Governor’s Council approves state court judges, and Paul DePalo is motivated by his past work as a special education teacher serving at-risk, court-involved youth.
