What a week last week! Quincy, Canton, Braintree, Hingham -- thank you.
We talked about healthcare, the shutdown, immigration, childcare, and the most important thing: how we're going to win this election and get some leadership that actually fights for us.

Proud that our Senators are sticking up for Massachusetts and for affordable health care.
There's no "deal" in the Senate. Now is not the time to back down from this fight.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

With SNAP benefits lapsing, I've had a lot of conversations with folks on the ground about things we can do to meet the need out there. Will link a few things here for Greater Boston / South Shore if folks want to help out!

Our democracy needs fresh voices and real fighters that will stand up to the Trump administration. The system works best when new people step up and challenge the status quo. It’s time for change.

So nice to meander around the Boston Book Festival with @patrickroath.bsky.social, who’s primarying Rep. Stephen Lynch to bring new leadership to the House. Worth checking out this race - it’s under the radar but high key opportunity for generational change.
