Thank you for your steady leadership and dedicated service throughout your time in the legislature. It has been an honor to work with you.

Let me opine for a moment on Harriette 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. #mapoli

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.

Extremely grateful to Michael J. Rodrigues 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. 1/2

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

Tomás is on a field trip to Boston. They just visited the statehouse. Of course he finds a Benfica scarf in Michael J. Rodrigues’ office. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Vamos .SL Benfica .SL Benfica

I’ve been practicing for months; I’m pumped and ready to throw the opening pitch at 3PM today as we begin debate on the FY’24 Senate Budget!

It’s a wrap! Senate ratified the FY’24 Budget, decisively moving us forward on education, housing, public health, and workforce development

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.

It’s always great to see my friend Paul Coogan 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 Michael J. Rodrigues and Reps Alan Silvia, Carole Fiola and Paul Schmid!

Proud to announce an agreement in principle has been reached on a tax relief package, with our hope to vote on it next week. #mapoli
