Nadia Milleron, Congressional candidate running against Richard Neal - David v. Goliath

Nadia Milleron is a powerful independent voice who has earned hard fought wins in Washington and elsewhere holding Boeing accountable after her daughter Samya was killed in one of the tragic crashes of the Boeing 737. She is now running as an underdog to the powerful Richard Neal, the epitome of the political establishment in western Massachusetts and DC. Recently bolstered by a ⁠powerful piece in the New York Times⁠, Nadia's campaign has been inspiring people across the district, and hell, maybe she has a puncher's chance in this David vs. Goliath contest. Nadia challenges Neal on his lack of accessibility to the district, his campaign finance practices and how he spends his campaign money, not following through on securing social security reform, not holding pharmaceutical companies accountable for price gouging and more. Nadia is focused on making change that will bring more badly needed physicians to Western Massachusetts communities, addressing runaway grocery and gas prices from greed-flation and spending more tax dollars in our nation, rather than on international excursions. It is an epic tale of a mother fighting for change so no other family has to face the tragedies brought upon by defective Boeing planes. Featured recently in an brilliant piece in the New York Times, Nadia is an inspiration and has shown unending tenacity to hold Boeing accountable in seeking justice. In 2019, Nadia’s daughter was a passenger on a Boeing 737 MAX that crashed in Ethiopia killing all on board. After 2 deadly crashes, instead of taking Boeing’s and the FAA’s word that nothing was wrong and a crash would not happen again, Nadia got involved to hold all involved groups accountable. Nadia went to Washington and helped lead the unanimous passage of the national bi-partisan Aircraft Certification, Safety, and Accountability Act in 2020 which directed US aircraft and aerospace industry manufacturers to adopt, enforce, and regulate compliance procedures to ensure planes met the proper criteria and specifications before they are commissioned for use. She didn’t stop there. Nadia then went to Boeing’s home in Illinois and spearheaded the overthrow of a state law that protected big corporations over victims. Nadia met with legislators and stakeholders to fix a flawed law that allowed negligent and reckless corporations to get away with murder and not be held responsible. Nadia has never shied away from standing up for everyday people. She began her career practicing law helping children who were facing neglect and abuse. For 5 years, she took cases from the bench and advocated on the child’s behalf in cases of contested divorces, lack of child support, or crime. She also represented people in the state mental hospital in probate court proceedings. As a pro bono volunteer attorney, she worked with patients who had been subjected to dehumanizing conditions and a legal system that was violating their rights.
