He regularly represents businesses, lenders, and individuals throughout Hampden, Hampshire, Franklin, and Berkshire County.

Mike's Mission

My only goal in public service is to improve our corner of the world. I have started my family here, just like my parents and their parents before them, and I only want this place to succeed. The Governor's Council plays a critical role in ensuring that our courts and institutions are led by qualified, fair-minded individuals — and I am committed to bringing that same standard of integrity to District 8.
