Tonight, @mglach.bsky.social, who is challenging Angelo Puppolo for the #12thHampden Dem nomination, held his kickoff tonight. Instead of "cheese" those attending said "Fire Puppolo." #mapoli

…single payer and I am grateful for all the people who have come out of the wood work to help get me through this marathon. Thank you! ❤️

It was awesome attending the candidate's night in Springfield today! I enjoyed meeting folks and listening to some great questions and answers. I am also very grateful to Jon Weissman for inviting me to speak to his Western Mass Medicare for All Group tonight. I am proud to be an advocate for…

Between attending the Feline Fun Day in Monson to helping at the Loaves and Fishes Soup Kitchen in Springfield on to attending a talk on cults and deradicalization by Dr. Steven Hassan, sponsored by Defending Democracy in Hampden County, I am inspired by how many…

This past week, I interviewed Carol Berger, who helps organize weekly anti-Trump protests here in East Longmeadow. If you'd like to join them, visit ddhc.us and join their newsletter or stop by the East Longmeadow Library on Saturdays 10-11am. #mapoli #EastLongmeadowma

However, Rep. Puppolo has not signed on.

Many of our local Democratic legislators back H.1405 and its Senate companion S.860, including:

Healthcare is a human right, and yet right now, Medicare and Medicaid are under attack. Millions of people, including people right here in Massachusetts, are at risk.

Massachusetts can set an example for the nation by passing H.1405, a universal healthcare bill…

Please donate or volunteer to help keep this movement growing. 💙

I'm honored to share that 100 people have stepped up to support this campaign.

Every contribution represents more than just financial support. It's a vote of confidence. I'm deeply grateful for your trust and belief in what we are building here.

Stopped by Rooster's Chicken and Waffles in Wilbraham for the first time this weekend. It was a great meal and I especially recommend the banana pudding. They're also the only halal restaurant in Wilbraham that I know of. Be sure to check them out and #eatlocal.

Attended the East Longmeadow Farmers Market today and got to meet with some of the vendors. Loved seeing the vibrancy on display there. Also attended anti-Trump protests in East Longmeadow and Monson. All praise to the organizers!

As your state representative, I would:
