Build the future we want to live in.

Two hundred and fifty years ago, ordinary people in Massachusetts decided that the future was theirs to write. They did not wait for someone else to decide what came next. That spirit still belongs to us.

We are standing at another moment of choice. The tools are changing. The economy is changing. The way our children learn, the way we move, the way we make things, and the way we treat disease are all open to reinvention. Massachusetts should lead that work.

Our history gives us confidence. Our future needs a plan. Ask people what this Commonwealth should look like in 2035 and we ought to be able to offer a picture they can see themselves in: a home they can afford, a good job, a capable child, a safe neighborhood, and more time to live.

This vision starts with building. We want Massachusetts to lead in the world of atoms: biotech and healthcare; robotics, chips, defense, and hardware; energy, fusion, and the frontier technologies that make new things possible. We should keep the invention and the production here. We should make the careers here.

Then we will prepare our kids for those careers. The goal is a job and a living at 18. The moonshot is to build a school-to-career system: a personalized AI tutor and teacher, hands-on workshops and life skills, and real time inside companies, hospitals, public-service institutions, and the other places where people work.

An 18-year-old should be able to build something, explain an idea, manage money, work with others, and enter a job with confidence. College should remain a door wide open. So should the ability to earn, stand on your own feet, and keep learning.

We should think just as boldly about transportation. Plan for a future in which every vehicle is autonomous. Build a 3D grid: vehicles on the ground, tunnels underneath it, and new ways to travel above it. Start where we can learn: I-93, the Seaport, and cities and towns willing to say, "We want this here."

We should take on cancer. We have people and institutions capable of making discoveries that change the world. Give them a shared mission, help them do the work, and make sure the breakthroughs reach the families who need them.

We will be the leader in fusion. We will build homes at factory scale so people can buy for 1/3 the price of a comparable home today. We will connect safety and recovery services around the clock. And we will build the culture that makes Massachusetts the number-one place to live on Earth.

These are moonshots. Their value is that they give us something worth organizing around. We still owe the public honest costs, tested technology, clear milestones, and the courage to change course when the evidence tells us to. A goal becomes serious when someone owns the work and shows the results.

Our values are simple. We are curious and we believe in innovation. We believe in the power of the individual and the team. We have a champion mindset and a winning culture. We welcome people from every background who want to help build this future.

If you live here, help make staying possible for the next person. If you left, come home. If you have never lived here, come build. Say yes to homes. Start the company. Host a student. Hire an apprentice. Help a neighbor. Make your town a place where the next good idea can happen.

We started America. Let's go and build what comes next.

Durkin

Make Massachusetts the most builder-friendly, family-friendly, future-ready state in America.

Our mission

Return Massachusetts to net-positive migration and bring one million new residents to the Commonwealth by 2035.

1. Builder friendly

Be the #1 place in America to build. Lead the world of atoms: biotech and healthcare; robotics, chips, defense, and hardware; energy and frontier technology.

Aim for 200-plus billion-dollar companies and a $5 trillion economy by 2035. Judge progress first by real wages, productive investment, and sustained jobs.

2. Family friendly

Be the #1 place in America to raise a family. A home for 1/3 the comparable price. A child ready to earn a living at 18. Safe neighborhoods, strong communities, clean air, clean water, and nutritious food.

3. Future ready

Be the #1 place in America for what comes next. A 3D transportation grid, a cancer mission, the fusion economy, and an AI-native government that earns trust. Build toward the future while delivering useful improvements today.

We are tough, smart, hardworking, kind, welcoming, direct people. We believe in common sense. We do hard things here, and we tell the truth about what it takes to do them. These are the three values that guide the vision.

1. We are curious and we believe in innovation.

We ask the questions that open a new possibility, then we go build the answer. Curiosity belongs in a classroom, a workshop, a laboratory, a town meeting, and a company. We welcome new tools and ideas, test them honestly, and keep learning.

2. We believe in the power of the individual and the team.

It starts with you: your effort, your judgment, your health, and your willingness to act. It grows through the people around you: family, neighbors, teammates, colleagues, and the community you help build. We value independence and the responsibility to help one another go further.

3. We have a champion mindset and a winning culture.

We prepare, compete, learn, and do the work required to be excellent. We celebrate people who make life better, from the field to the factory, from the hospital to the classroom. Everyone who wants to contribute has a place on the team. Winning means more people can build a great life here.
