I am running for State Senate in a ruby-red district in MA (Scott Brownβs old seat) because working families deserve a state government that works for us: paid family leave, strong schools and unions, and 21st-century voting rights. Letβs get it done!
Here in New England, itβs Indigenous Peopleβs Day in Maine + Vermont but not in Massachusetts. Proud of the schools and communities in our district and across MA that made the change already. And proud to cosponsor the bill to make the change statewide.

Its stated goal is to βreveal the local entities and networksβ that have any ties whatsoever to Jews and βdismantleβ them. It specifically calls for the dismantling of Jewish communities, deploying the age-old

This hit list includes Jewish schools, cultural institutions, synagogues, a disability support/advocacy org, and private families. Not 2 weeks ago, I spoke in favor of nonprofit security grants to protect people. This hit list flies squarely in the face of peace and safety. 4/x

Having a visible police presence at the polls is a bad practice because it tends to have a voter suppressive effect. But unfortunately MA law requires it.

You created this, Baker.
Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker is attacking education unions for promoting health and safety during a pandemic. When a smart plan was proposed for vaccinating teachers, he attacked the unions with dishonest claims and Scott Walker-style rhetoric.
