Welcome
Welcome, and thank you for visiting my legislative website! It remains an honor and a privilege to serve the residents of the 14th Norfolk District which includes Wellesley, Weston and South Natick, and I look forward to accomplishing much on your behalf during my 5th term as your Representative in the Massachusetts Legislature.
The 187th General Court started in early January and there are many important issues facing the 14th Norfolk District and the Commonwealth. The issue that is expected to be the highest priority moving forward will be health care cost containment.
The deadline for filing new legislation was January 21st, 2011. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about issues facing the legislature, please contact me. I would like to hear about the issues that are important to you, whether it is legislation currently before the House of Representatives, or legislation you would like to see filed in the future.
I also appreciate your input on all other matters related to state government and encourage you to contact me with any questions, concerns and/or suggestions you have to improve state government. I can be reached via email at Alice.Peisch@MAHouse.gov or by telephone at 617-722-2070.
Very truly yours,
Alice H. Peisch
State Representative
