🚧 Today, the MA House passed a bond bill authorizing $300M in Chapter 90 funds for local roads and bridges - $100M more than our historic annual investment. It also includes $885M for critical infrastructure: small bridges, culverts + traffic safety + congestion relief. #mapoli

Yesterday, the MA House passed the Shield Act, which would ban the dissemination of peoples’ cellular location data. In the face of national threats against reproductive and gender-affirming healthcare, MA remains committed to protecting the safety and privacy rights of everyone.

We are paying dearly for the absence of civics education.

Last week, the MA Legislature enacted the FY26 Budget. Signed into law by the Governor, this budget makes critical investments + initiatives to make the Commonwealth more affordable, while maintaining a commitment to fiscal responsibility in the face of uncertainty in Washington.

No better place to celebrate Arbor Day than Elm Park in Worcester!🌳 Proud to have help secured over $500K for improvements to this park as a fixture of our community. Outdoor spaces benefit not only our environment, but economic prosperity + well-being (plus, it’s Finley’s fav place to take walks!).

Gracie and Finley wish everyone a very happy and sunny Easter weekend! ☀️ #FridayswithFinley #StateofGracie
