Honored and humbled by the confidence and trust put in me by President @KarenSpilka to Chair the Senate Committee on Ways and Means. We have a lot of work ahead of us and I look forward to working with my Senate colleagues to confront the challenges facing our Commonwealth!

It’s always great to see my friend @MayorPaulCoogan and the work he is doing to continue to lead Fall River forward. Fall River is continuing to succeed under the strong leadership of the Mayor, Chairman @SenRodrigues and Reps @RepAlanSilvia, @CaroleFiola and @RepPaulSchmid!

Touring @Battleship_Cove in Fall River reminds me of how much history lives in our state – and as someone who grew up in a Navy family, I feel so connected to this place. Our Capital Investment Plan invests $7M in Battleship Cove to improve and conserve this historic state pier.

I’ve been following Portuguese football for a long time and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bigger superstar head to Portugal than Angel Di Maria.
Man of the Match in a World Cup Final seven months ago….now headed to the Portuguese champions.

The @MAStateHouse lost another wonderful former colleague with the passing of a true gentleman, Steve Kulik from #westmass. A friend and mentor to many with a strong legacy of service. Thoughts and prayers to his family. Thanks and praise to Steve for a life well lived. #mapoli

Senate President @KarenSpilka, House Speaker @RonMariano, and chamber budget chiefs @RepMichlewitz and @SenRodrigues head into @MassGovernor’s office for weekly leadership meeting (which hasn’t happened since the summer, I believe)

Extremely grateful to @SenRodrigues for coming to our district today to tour the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home, 104th Fighter Wing, and Soldier On in Agawam.
It was great to showcase all the important work being done here on behalf of Veterans and our active-duty service members.

Met with public health and elected leaders in Fall River today to hear about the ongoing opioid crisis and discuss my work in Washington. The addiction crisis has only gotten worse during the pandemic. We need to support prevention, treatment, and recovery in all our communities.

Let me opine for a moment on @Sen_Chandler who's been a gracious mentor to me in the @MA_Senate over the last 3 years.
Sen. Chandler's work will continue to make life better for people in the Commonwealth and her stellar example will continue to urge us all forward.
