Tom Sannicandro (born March 22, 1956)^[1] is an American attorney and businessman, currently serving as a State Representative in the Massachusetts House of Representatives for Framingham and Ashland, and a leader on civil rights of persons with intellectual disabilities.

Background

Sannicandro is the father of a child with special needs under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and has leveraged these circumstances into a career, advocating as an attorney on behalf of disability needs, in particular children. — And now as a seated member of the Massachusetts, House of Representatives, endeavors to expand his contributions towards proactive avocation within the body. The implicit need for such representation is reflected by the two-thirds majority who entrusted this seat upon such a platform. In turn Sannicandro has implemented a website allowing his constituents fluid access and ability to influence the process.^[5]
