I’m committed to working with Mayor Mike Nicholson and Gardner leaders to make the city safer for residents and visitors. Grateful to community members who are taking the time to recommend where state and federal infrastructure dollars can be best spent in the Chair City!
Donald Trump's war in Iran is costing families across the board, especially at the gas pump.
Republicans could have ended the conflict this week. Instead, almost every single one of them voted to keep this war going.
For the past 30 years, Third District Day has brought folks together from across our district to connect with each other and hear directly from leaders who are shaping the decisions that affect our communities.
Thankful for another successful year!
Across Massachusetts, Haitian refugees are showing up – in our hospitals, our retirement homes, our communities. Proud to work with @pressley.house.gov in the fight to get this legislation passed!
GREAT NEWS: Despite opposition from Republican leadership, the House voted to extend protections for thousands of Haitians living in the U.S.!
Great story in UMass Lowell’s magazine about the tremendous opportunities being created with the Lowell Innovation Network Corridor – for students, for businesses and for our community.
Proud to be a part of the team turning this project into a reality!
Proud to deliver the federal investments necessary to complete the Greenville & Turnpike Roads intersection – making the town safer by reducing traffic accidents!
Too often, smaller towns like Ashby don’t get the funding they need for vital projects. I voted for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to start changing that.
Millions of people had their photos transferred to a facial recognition company without their knowledge or consent. The FTC's "enforcement" amount to a pinky promise not to do it again. I'm demanding answers.
Tomorrow is Tax Day, and Donald Trump’s inflation tax has been hitting hardworking families every day for the past year.
Prices are up, jobs are down, and life is more expensive – with Trump’s war in Iran driving costs even higher.
As Republicans in Washington continue to cut Americans’ health care and make it harder for families to see a doctor, Massachusetts will continue to lead the way.
98% of residents have coverage, and leaders like @massgovernor.bsky.social are committed to closing the gap and driving down costs.
Our seniors deserve affordable housing, and after more than a decade of planning, the Westminster Senior Residences is open.
Proud to have secured the federal investments necessary to help get this development done!
Look, it would be easier for everyone if Donald Trump just released the Epstein Files like he said he would.
Then accusations like these could be debunked immediately.
Proud to join Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell, YouthBuild and generous volunteers and donors yesterday for the Drew Farmhouse Barn fundraiser.
Two new affordable homes. A historic barn preserved. And a community coming together to make it happen!
Another big step forward on the Rourke Bridge! This week, work began on the river, with crews building the foundation that will support the new bridge.
It’s great to see progress on this long awaited project.
Trump keeps trying to go after Massachusetts. We keep beating him.
Once again, Republicans in Congress rubberstamped Donald Trump’s war in Iran.
Next, we’ll make them go on record with a War Powers vote. It’s time to put Americans first.
Grateful to Jim Perrine and Commonwealth Community Developers, Maloney Properties, and the entire Town of Westminster for making this vision a reality – and proud that federal ARPA dollars and Low-Income Housing Tax Credits helped close the gap!
Projects like this don't happen by accident. They happen because a town identifies a need, finds the right partners, and puts in the work to stitch together the funding to make it happen.
The units are already leased, and residents have access to everything from walking trails to mental health services to a transit connection into Fitchburg and beyond.
This morning I had the pleasure of touring the Westminster Senior Residences – and it did not disappoint.
After more than a decade of planning, Westminster now has 50 brand-new, affordable homes for seniors, located right behind the Town's Senior Center.
And thanks to Rep. Scarsdale and Senator Cronin's office for their partnership every step of the way.
My job is to make sure towns like this aren't left behind, and today was proof that when we fight for them, we can deliver.
Thank you to Town Administrator Mary Daughraty, Select Board Chair Paul Lasorsa, and the entire Select Board and highway team for seeing this project through.
This is what the law was built to do – and I'm proud I voted for it.
Too often, federal infrastructure dollars flow to big cities while smaller communities get overlooked. Ashby has 4,200 residents. They deserve safe roads just as much as anyone.
Thanks to $3.3 million in federal funding through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law's Highway Safety Improvement Program, the intersection has been fully rebuilt: new pavement, better visibility, updated signage, and improved traffic control. Accidents are already down.
In 2021, I visited Ashby and witnessed firsthand the dangerous intersection of Greenville and Turnpike Rds. with town officials who wanted it fixed. Today, I went back to celebrate the new and improved intersection.
Last week, Trump said we couldn't help families with child care because of his war in Iran.
Now that there's a ceasefire, will Republicans finally focus on working families here at home?
