Meet Nichole
Candidate for State Representative of the 35th Middlesex in Medford and Malden
Nichole is running because our state legislature has failed to address the urgent challenges that so many in our community are facing everyday. As a mother of three young children, organizer, and community advocate who knows what it’s like to struggle and live paycheck to paycheck, she knows too many families struggle daily merely to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. She has lived through many challenges in her life and not only survived them, but has thrived despite them.
Nichole has served her community by focusing on her non-profit administration and consulting work, and volunteering in various community roles. She brings tested experience to the table to build a better future for all our residents.
