73rd Governor. Joanna's other half. Stepmom, aunt, sister, baller. Always playing for Team Massachusetts 🏀

While Donald Trump drives up energy costs, I'm doing everything I can to save you money. Ahead of a cold winter, I’m declaring a State of Energy Emergency to boost heating assistance, help middle-class families pay for oil, and take $100M in charges directly off your bills.

It’s clear why @mit.edu was named the number one school in the nation. MA is leader, bringing people together to innovate. Future Fest and Sensing Oceans at the MIT Museum show what’s possible when art, design, and STEM come together. Honored to celebrate those shaping our future.

Gold Star families have given more than anyone should ever have to give. On Gold Star Mothers & Families Day and always, we honor your loved ones and their sacrifice, and pledge to serve your families with the same selflessness they showed our nation 🇺🇸

The men and women who defend our freedoms should never feel like they have to struggle alone. I was proud to sign a bill recognizing September 22 as Military Service Members and Veterans Suicide Awareness and Remembrance Day.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump’s war with Iran sent gas prices through the roof. Now, he’s ignoring the pain Americans are feeling at the pump. I won’t. I’m filing a bill to suspend the gas tax and deliver relief for Massachusetts drivers.

Donald Trump’s reckless Iran War is driving up gas prices nationwide. $4.40 for regular, $6.39 for diesel and climbing every day? That's crazy. I’m filing a bill to suspend the gas tax and make sure every penny saved goes back to Massachusetts families.

The Big E is one of those traditions that makes New England special. Even better when Opening Day is about celebrating our veterans, service members, and military families. Great to be back — and grateful for everyone who serves 🇺🇸

Massachusetts competes to win. Roche and Genentech are bringing hundreds of jobs and their next generation of cutting-edge research to Allston. That means more innovation, more breakthroughs, and more hope for patients around the world.

Public safety is the foundation of everything we do to make Massachusetts a great place to live. Thank you to MCOPA and law enforcement officers for putting their communities first with courage, commitment and leadership. In Unity There Is Strength.

Welcoming a baby is one of life's greatest joys — and one of its biggest challenges. I’m taking action so every Massachusetts family gets support from the start, including home visits from nurses, earlier screenings, and better access to care.

Massachusetts is stronger because of our Hispanic and Latino communities. During Hispanic and Latino Heritage Month and always, we celebrate their cultures, contributions, and lasting impact across our state. Unidos, Somos Más — Together, We Are More.

A sewer main break in Haverhill put shellfishers out of work for 12 days—right in the middle of their busy season. Today, we’re delivering $300,000 in relief checks to help make up for that lost income. This industry matters to Massachusetts. And we’ll always have their backs.

Massachusetts has been on the front lines of the fight for freedom — from Lexington and Concord to the brave men and women serving today. That proud tradition continues as we welcome F-35A Lightning II aircraft to Barnes Air National Guard Base and begin a new chapter for the 104th Fighter Wing.

The Madeline Amy Sweeney Award for Civilian Bravery is one of Massachusetts’ highest honors, recognizing extraordinary acts of courage and selflessness. This year’s recipient is TJ Swenson, who stepped in during an active shooter situation on Memorial Drive four months ago today, saving lives.

My heart is with the Keating family today. 25 years after losing a mother and grandmother in the 9/11 attacks, they can finally lay her to rest. Grateful to the teams who’ve spent decades helping families bring their loved ones home.

Barbara Keating died aboard one of the planes that hijackers slammed into the World Trade Center. Her remains were finally identified last year, and her family is gathering for a long-delayed funeral.

I’ve directed flags across Massachusetts to fly at half-staff and I’m calling on residents to join me in a statewide moment of silence at 8:46 a.m.   We remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on September 11, 2001 and hold their families in our thoughts and prayers.
