After giving the voters of Somerville the positive, issue-focused race that we agreed to do a year ago, it was great catching up with my friend and colleague @willieburnleyjr.bsky.social We unpacked the wild campaign journey we were just on and looked ahead at important policy work to be done.

Veterans Day honors those who've served our country. I started out the day at the Mystic Learning Center for a Veterans Day event, then moved on to the Dilboy VFW for a speaking program and wreath-laying. Finally, I attended the Somerville Museum's event at Milk Row Cemetery. Thank you, veterans!

Had a great meeting with @kimdriscollma.bsky.social last week, where we talked about policy priorities and where we can work together. I'm really looking forward to that collaboration with the Healey-Driscoll administration in the coming years!

Took the Orange Line from Assembly to State this morning and it went exactly how it should. No delays. No slow zones. Just public transit moving people around efficiently. Grateful to @mbta.com for doing the work to change things. Let's keep this going.
