“Terror is not a new weapon. Throughout history it has been used by those who could not prevail, either by persuasion or example.” – President Kennedy at the UN General Assembly, September 25, 1961

Proud to #StandWithIsrael and with Elizabeth Warren Ed Markey Jake Auchincloss Michelle Wu 吳弭 Maura Healey Deborah Goldberg Boston JCRC #🟦 and many leaders in the Jewish community and friends and allies at today's Stand With Israel Rally on the Boston Common.

Boston JCRC #🟦 invites others who wish to show solidarity with the Israeli people to join us in supporting this gathering by sharing it with your networks.

My heart is hurting as I watch the events unfolding in Israel & Gaza right now. I strongly condemn these acts of terror and am praying for the safe return of those taken hostage to their families.

If you’re celebrating, Happy 5784!!!

Training camp starts today, but I was at Gillette Stadium a few weeks ago with Pats Hall of Famer Tedy Bruschi & Allyson Perron ☮️ to brush up on my CPR and get a few practice reps in w/Pat Patriot on some dummies. Proud to work with AHA on our Tele-CPR bill this session! ♥️🏈💙

The rain pushed up Sharon’s fireworks last night, but it couldn’t keep a great crowd from turning out in Stoughton this morning for another awesome parade! Happy Independence Day!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thank you, Kathie Medeiros, for your service, your passion, and your friendship. You did a fantastic job as Director of the Council On Aging, and Sharon is better for it!

Last week, I joined my friend Marc Parrish at Boston Public Market to speak with James ‘Jimmy’ Hills about the mission of BPM & its statewide impact, Crescent Ridge’s involvement as an OG vendor, and celebrate new vendors starting this year. Come see all the cool things that are happening!!!

It was a privilege to help welcome Andrea Joy Campbell to Sharon for an evening of discussion about her first six months in office and the great work that she and her team are doing for the Commonwealth.

It was a joyous Juneteenth across the 8th Norfolk! Jamfest in Stoughton, Celebration on the Walpole Common, ceremony in Mansfield, & flag raising at the State House, it was a great reminder of progress made and the work that remains ahead to create a more equal and just society.

Happy Fathers Day to everyone celebrating, but especially to my dad Dave, who’s been looking out for me since, well… always.

Sharon- A nice place to live, because it’s naturally beautiful. 🌿

This week, I attended Pride events in Mansfield, Stoughton, & Sharon to celebrate love & authenticity across the 8th Norfolk. Each has grown every year, which is a testament to both the message & the people who work so hard to make these celebrations happen. Happy Pride!!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
