About ken sweezey

I was born and raised in Hanson where I attended Maquan, Indian Head, and Hanson Middle Schools while playing my little league and youth football in town.  After attending Hanson Public Schools, I graduated from Boston College High School. Throughout my time in high school, I worked  at my family's small business in Whitman. Digging fence holes taught me a lot about the hard-working members of our communities on the South Shore, as well as the demanding nature of running a small business. These experiences created the lens for why I strongly advocate for small business and critique government interference in those businesses.

Following high school, I  earned my Bachelor's Degree in Forensic Science from Loyola University Chicago. My work in forensic science led me to  begin a career serving in the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department as a Latent Fingerprint Examiner for four years. During my time in St. Louis, I learned first-hand the nearly impossible job our law enforcement officers carry out every day. Supporting their mission and contributing to the public safety of that city was one of the greatest honors of my life.

Currently, I work as a project specialist at a small biotech company.

As a private citizen, I served over two years on the Economic Development Committee and Capital Improvement Committee for the Town of Hanson.

I am running to bring accountability to Beacon Hill and stop the out of touch politicians from raising your taxes, spending your tax dollars wastefully, and hurting our small businesses. I am fighting for the workers, business owners, first responders, families, and every single individual in the 6th District. As your State Representative, I will be your advocate on Beacon Hill and ensure life in the 6th Plymouth District is as great as we all know it can be.
