Some professional news: as of this past week, I’ve departed government to take on consulting projects in two distinct spaces: advancing the nation’s commitment to transformational infrastructure investment, and bringing every possible effort to bear on the 2024 election cycle.

First full council meeting of 2024! And my first as President. Join us live or in person at 12pm. Tune in here:

This supplemental budget includes support for cities and towns covering the costs of education and flood recovery, hard-earned raises for workers, and sustains our emergency assistance program.

It’s signed, and I’m grateful to the Legislature for their partnership.

We topped the ticket! A resounding victory for #TeamRuthzee . 🎉💪🏿

To the 43,127 people who voted for me, THANK YOU. I am so grateful.

To ALL our residents, it is a privilege to serve each and every one of you, every day.

Let’s continue the work. Onward, & ever forward.

Congrats, Lydia Edwards! There are many ways to serve, and I’m grateful to you for continuing a family legacy of military service as the newest JAG in Mass. National Guard. I know you'll be a strong advocate for justice for the men and women of the Massachusetts National Guard.

I condemn the unconscionable attacks on innocent Israeli civilians by Hamas. I’m holding the victims of this violence and their families in my heart, and praying for the safety of the people of Israel.

It’s been 20 years since Massachusetts cut taxes. That ends today.

Soon, I’ll sign real relief for families, seniors, renters, and more into law. Join us at mass.gov/GovernorLive.

Since retiring MA State Senate, I've been busy in private sector & board service. Excited to launch my firm focused on 3 segments: #RealEstate consulting, #DEI strategy & #communityrelations . See piece Shirley Leung Chris Morris bostonglobe.com/2023/07/10/bus…

This time last year we did an amazing thing. So proud of this amazing team.

Congratulations to newly appointed Deputy Treasurer, Chandra Bork! Her outstanding commitment, leadership and hard work are truly invaluable to Deborah Goldberg!

This week, Maura Healey swore in her new appointments to the board of the Mass Convention Center Authority.

The Healey-Driscoll Administration is committed to representation and we love to see it 👏🏾👏🏾

If you’re newly eligible for a driver’s license through #WFMA , watch out for fake websites and scams.

Massachusetts RMV is the only organization who can issue a driver’s license or collect fees. Book a learners permit appointment and start your application at mass.gov/RMV.

As the Work and Family Mobility Act goes into effect today, I’m thinking about the activists, legislators and public safety officials who pushed mobility for all, regardless of immigration status.

Our residents and roads will be safer because of you. Thank you, Driving Families Forward Coalition.

In Massachusetts – home to the first public school and first university – our commitment to equity, inclusion, and representation in education remains unshakable.

Normally neutral but I fully endorse this message.

Wishing the happiest birthday to an OG Sister in Service Liz Miranda! Sending you so much love in the new year. Grateful for your mentorship and the work you do 🤍

Today, we released our five-year capital plan to make Massachusetts more affordable, competitive, and equitable – starting with the high cost of housing.

Our plan puts $1.5B+ toward housing and creates HousingWorks, a new program to build hundreds of affordable homes each year.

39 years ago, Terrence was in school, horsing around with a friend, and ended up in juvenile court. His friend didn’t press charges, and they’re still close to this day.

He deserves the chance to move on from mistakes made when he was 15.

Today was a great day.

I met Terrance in my early days a City Hall staffer b/c of his community work. It was truly inspiring to witness Maura Healey granting him clemency and a critical first step to make our Justice system fair for all.

Justice delayed is Justice denied.

Veteran. Firefighter. Nurse. Social worker. Public works employee. Folks with dreams of serving their communities or our country.
 
This is justice – they’ve accepted responsibility for their actions and deserve the chance to become all they can be.
