U.S. Dept. of Energy agrees: offshore wind farms should not bury transmission cables under our beaches. So why are elected officials and corporate giants pushing high-voltage infrastructure there?

As your State Rep, Susanne will be proactive defending the Cape.
Protect taxpayers too

As State Rep, Susanne will work to amend the Right to Shelter law so Massachusetts will stop being such a costly magnet state.
