Thanks to State Representative Jeff Roy for making some time in his schedule to join me for a virtual conversation about what’s happening in the state government and his campaign for re-election in November 2022.  Jeff represents the 10th Norfolk District and has served as the Chairperson of the Joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities & Energy in this current term.

A quick overview of Jeff 

• Development of political career, School Committee, Town Council, then State Rep
• Newsletter, office hours
• Video from House floor – periodic, topical
• More Perfect Union – broad topics on regular schedule 
• Frank Presents – recent overview  
• Making Sense of Climate – 2 episodes, likely more on the roadmap to 2050
• Presidential library tours shared at Franklin Historical Museum 
• PanMass ride, Ben Gardner’s Boat
• SAFE Coalition, Franklin Food Pantry and other local nonprofits 

This listing may have left something out, but it leads me to two observations:

• Lifelong learner 
• Looking for meaningful challenges

Can you develop your thoughts on those?

Can you explore:

• How you juggle home/family life with public work
• Opportunities for improvements in transparency of State House deliberations, information

The audio segment runs about 50 minutes, so listen in to my conversation with State Representative Jeff Roy
