2026 General Elections: Candidates’ Responses to
SPJE Questions on private jet expansion
On 10/16/26, SPJE sent three questions to candidates running for key General Election offices at the state and federal level in both contested and uncontested races.
SPJE asked candidates to state their position on 1) the private jet expansion at Massport-owned Hanscom Field civil airport (not Hanscom Air Force Base), 2) private jet expansion generally, 3) as well as their position on private jet tax exemptions. The questionnaire was designed to collect information about candidates’ positions and inform the public about those positions.
We informed the candidates that their responses, and nonresponses, would be shared with the public. Candidates’ responses are published as submitted, without editing.
SPJE does not endorse candidates and does not take a position on individual candidates.
The questions and the candidates’ responses can be found here.

Stay poised for Hanscom Developers’ SDEIR report
In June 2024, EEA Secretary Tepper rejected the Hanscom developers’ DEIR (Draft Environmental Impact Report) after receiving over 1,500 public comments, 13,500 petition signatures, and an important independent analysis that refuted the developers’ claims. Tepper instructed the developers to go back to the drawing board to produce an SDEIR (Supplementary DEIR).
The SDEIR has not yet been filed. As of 9/15/26, it is now expected to be filed at the end of the year.
