This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for the strength and generosity in our communities. As we celebrate, let’s remember that too many families across our country are facing food insecurity. No one should struggle to put meals on the table—on Thanksgiving or any day. 🧡

A powerful piece from my friend and colleague, Army Veteran Patrick Campbell. He writes about bravery in its truest form — the kind that shows up when you’re ordered to do the wrong thing and choose to do what’s right anyway.

The cost of housing continues to skyrocket, squeezing the budgets of families, seniors, and veterans across the commonwealth. Meanwhile, Trump’s solution is a 50 year mortgage?!? 🤯

🇺🇸🇺🇸 Spent the day with veterans in Walpole and Norwood. I was honored to hear the stories of their service in Vietnam, Germany, Korea, Saudi Arabia, and local bases, and listened to their concerns about the economy, particularly the cost of housing and the challenges in our schools.

Beautiful weather for JP’s Open Street. Had a great time talking to community members about the issues top of mind--from the challenge of finding quality affordable childcare, to the threats to our democracy, to lego struggles. I’m running to bring all these voices to the state house.

Instead of helping millions of working families or struggling student borrowers, today the Trump Administration unveiled the new Public Service Loan Forgiveness rule punishing workers who provide critical services to transgender youth and undocumented immigrants, or work to further racial equity.

Have your health care costs gone up last year?? Been denied coverage for medication or care?
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
Meanwhile, the health care industry is spending more than ever on lobbyists.
That’s why we need leaders who will stand up to corporate interests and fight for families—not billionaires.
