We did it! Even when Republicans in Congress tried to slash the funding, Ed Markey, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley and I secured $850,000 for The Pryde, an affordable housing development for LGBTQ+ seniors in Hyde Park.
 
It was a joy to call Gretchen Van Ness and share the news!

Grateful for the opportunity to join the Eid al-Fitr celebration at the State House today! Thank you to Senator Miranda, the Black & Latino Caucus, and ISBCC for hosting. Eid Mubarak!

Eid Mubarak! As the holy month of Ramadan comes to a close, I’m sending my warmest wishes to all those who celebrated Eid al-Fitr last night.

Baseball is BACK in Boston!

Happy #OpeningDay at Fenway Park. Let’s go, Red Sox! ⚾️

We might not have been in the path of totality, but we had a pretty stellar view of #Eclipse2024 🌖

Hope everyone enjoyed it as much as me and Kim Driscoll!

Great visit to MassRobotics – the largest robotics hub in the world! The Mass Leads Act would turbocharge innovation by supporting inventors, students and workers across our state. Now is the time to invest in the industries that will define our future!

As someone who grew up in a military family, I’m deeply grateful for the service and sacrifice of Gold Star Spouses. On Gold Star Spouse Recognition Day, we pledge to always listen and support our service members, veterans and their families and whatever way we can.

For me and Maura Healey, @Massachusetts250 isn’t just about marking a historic milestone. It’s a chance to celebrate what makes our state revolutionary today!

Ag Day is one of my favorite days at the State House! 🐄🚜🌾

It was great to see farms bouncing back after a tough year. Today we announced $3M in grants to help our growers and producers continue to recover.

In 2008, Massachusetts decriminalized marijuana. In 2016, we legalized it.
 
Today, thousands of people will have misdemeanor marijuana convictions pardoned from their record. Grateful to the Governor's Council for approving my request. bostonglobe.com/2024/04/03/met…

For the first time in 10 years, the Governor's Travel and Tourism Conference is BACK!

Massachusetts has so much to offer - especially gearing up for America250. We can't wait to celebrate with people from all over the world. Stay tuned at 250.MA.

My statement on the passing of Larry Lucchino.

As Red Sox President and CEO, Larry Lucchino led the team to three World Series championships — but his legacy goes beyond Boston and baseball.

I’m keeping Larry’s loved ones and the Red Sox organization close to my heart.

Sec. Augustus and I just finished testifying on the #AffordableHomesAct ! Thanks to Michael Finn and Sen. Ed Kennedy and the entire Joint Committee for the opportunity. Looking forward to working with the Legislature to get this to Maura Healey’s desk!

The #AffordableHomesAct is a win-win-win.

It’s good for families.
It’s good for businesses and workers.
It’s good for communities.

This is what our state needs to create homes and lower costs. Together, we can put this plan to work for all of us.

As the former Mayor of Salem, I know a thing or two about how tourism can be a game changer for local economies!

We brought back Maura Healey’s Travel and Tourism Conference to make the most of opportunities like America250 and show the world that MA is the place to be.
