Friend,
Happy New Year! This month we witnessed the historic inaugurations of Governor Maura Healey, Attorney General Andrea Campbell, and Auditor Diana Dizoglio. On January 4th I was sworn into my first full term as your Senator, and the Senate has begun work on the 193rd legislative session.
|
|
|
Last year as your Senator, I voted on dozens of pieces of legislation, secured over $2 million in funding for your priorities, and brought our district together through food & music. As the 193rd legislative session begins, I'm ready for another two years working on your behalf.
|

|
I'm honored to be able to serve alongside four new Senators including, two new Senators of color, Sen. Pavel Payano, Sen. Liz Miranda, Sen. Paul Tucker, and Sen. Robyn Kennedy.
