Reflections on MLK weekend. Let’s all take action!

In 2025 our office fired on all cylinders, bringing results to Suffolk 9 by delivering on constituent services, budget priorities, community outreach, and key legislation. In 2026 we will continue to focus every day on enduring that everyone in this district thrives!

Just as we were about to have another democratic discussion about January 6th, Trump changes the narrative. Curious timing to say the least!

Let’s work together in 2026 to ensure everyone can realize their dreams!

Had an amazing morning delivering turkeys to ABCD in the South End alongside Senator Collins, Rep. Biele, Councilor Fitzgerald, and Councilor Flynn. Grateful for this community and the leaders who serve it. 🦃❤️

Today we honor those we’ve lost. Your lives, your stories, and your strength will never be forgotten. In their memory, we will continue to fight for a world where every trans person can live openly, safely, and without fear. 🏳️‍⚧️🕯️

Thrilled to get to work on my new committees for the 194th General Court!

As a former student of foreign policy, Trump’s actions of cozying up to a bully (who invaded a sovereign nation) while blaming the victim should cause alarm for all Americans no matter your political persuasion. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

Trump’s Pivot Toward Putin’s Russia Upends Generations of U.S. Policy

As peace talks opened in Saudi Arabia, President Trump made clear that the days of isolating Russia are over and suggested that Ukraine was to blame for being invaded.

Marking the next step of the Trump administration’s plan to erase LGBTQ+ Americans, CMS just put out a message that sexual orientation and gender identity questions must be deleted from Medicare enrollment forms. #makeAmericaHateAgain

Hopefully Seth Moulton realizes that trans athlete rights are just the first attack on LGBTQ rights in the Project 2025 playbook!

Today I’m choosing joy! Happy MLK Day!
