ISSUES
Talos Farris is running to deliver steady leadership and measurable results for the families, workers, veterans, and seniors who call the 7th Bristol District home. His focus is simple: policies that work in the real world and reflect the realities facing our community.Restoring Affordability
The cost of living in Massachusetts has been rising for years, and families in our district feel it every day. From housing to energy to everyday expenses, working families deserve relief that is practical, responsible, and sustainable.Talos will advocate for responsible tax policy, smarter energy decisions, and a disciplined approach to state spending, ensuring that government policies support upward mobility rather than making it harder for families to get ahead.Affordability is not a short-term headline. It requires long-term commitment and measurable outcomes.Strengthening Public Safety
Safe neighborhoods are the foundation of strong communities. Talos supports policies that strengthen public safety while ensuring our first responders have the right personnel, equipment, and infrastructure to do their jobs effectively and safely.Law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency responders should not be asked to do more with less. Supporting them means investing in modern training, appropriate staffing levels, updated technology, and the facilities needed to respond quickly and professionally.At the same time, Talos believes transparency and community trust are essential to healthy neighborhoods. Public safety and civil rights are not competing values, They are both necessary to maintain confidence in the systems that protect us.Strong communities require preparedness, professionalism, and responsible oversight.Sustainable Housing Solutions
Housing pressures did not appear overnight, and they will not be solved with short-term fixes. As Fall River enters a period of major transformation, including waterfront redevelopment and long-term infrastructure investment. Growth must work for the people who already live here.Talos will pursue housing solutions tied to local income realities and long-term stability, protecting neighborhoods while ensuring families are not priced out of their own community.Development should strengthen the district, not leave long-standing residents behind.Empowering Small Business
Small businesses drive opportunity and stability in the 7th Bristol District. Talos will champion economic policies that reduce unnecessary barriers, encourage local entrepreneurship, and support job growth right here at home.Economic growth should strengthen neighborhoods, create pathways for advancement, and ensure that prosperity is shared across the district.Honoring Veterans & Seniors
Through his leadership in Veterans Services, Talos has seen firsthand the challenges veterans and seniors face navigating housing, healthcare, and benefits systems. He understands how state-level decisions directly affect their quality of life.He will be a consistent and strong advocate to ensure those who have contributed so much to our community receive the support, respect, and access to benefits they’ve earned.
