A grassroots-fueled bipartisan campaign to bring greater transparency and accountability to the Massachusetts Legislature. 🔦 #TeamSunshine ☀️

We're so grateful for this victory and the incredible groundswell of support across Massachusetts. We're pushing for progress, together. ☀️ #mapoli

"All told, at least half of state lawmakers had some type of second job, business interest, or side hustle, raising questions about how much time lawmakers commit to their elected roles." #mapoli

A top Dem doubled as a consultant—and didn't have to disclose his clients.

A state rep also worked as a city councilor & owned law & realty businesses.

Several lawmakers said they work 100 hours/week on 2 full-time jobs.

Meet MA's full-time Legislature

When I moved to MA from FL in 2022, I was wowed by the lack of transparency on Beacon Hill compared to Tallahassee.

For the last year, @MattPStout, @emmaplatoff, @lauracrimaldi, + I worked to bring some sunlight to the Golden Dome. Here's what we learned:

Progressive groups want Beacon Hill to move faster to head off Trump--but House Speaker @RonMariano seems to have other plans.

Mariano "looks forward...to hearing from every member about their priorities," a spokesperson said

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu's property tax reclassification plan advanced in the House Thursday but not enough representatives showed up for session, enabling a GOP lawmaker with concerns about the plan's impacts on the business community to delay action. https://t.co/0rIdi0OByJ

all eyes on our state leaders in MA. voters re-elected Democratic supermajorities in both chambers and voted against Trump by 25+%. our state leaders have a democratic mandate & moral responsibility to act swiftly to protect their citizens from the worst to come #mapoli

[Diana DiZoglio @DianaDiZoglio]

Thank you, Massachusetts for voting YES on Question 1 to bring on this sun ☀️ expressly authorizing an audit of our Legislature with over 70% support. I am beyond grateful! Now, let’s get to work! #mapoli

[Massachusetts Sierra Club @MassSierraClub]

Congratulations to the Yes on 1 Campaign for a decisive victory and a step toward transparency, accountability, and progress in our legislature!

[Audit the Legislature @AuditTheMALeg]

It's go time, Massachusetts! ☀️ Vote YES on Question 1 to help ensure a more transparent, accountable legislature we can all be proud of. #mapoli

[Western Mass Politics & Insight @wmasspi]

ENDORSEMENT: WMP&I are taking a stance on Questions 1 and 5.
Q1: Support @MassAuditor @DianaDiZoglio's question to audit the legislature.
Q5: Oppose the poorly drafted question to abolish the tip credit and thus, side with @ProtectTips. #mapoli https://t.co/Xo7vfrvpZC

[Jonathan 'Boo and Vote' Cohn @JonathanCohn]

Would be great to have MA join!

A regular reminder that the MA senate has voted for this several times, and each time, the MA House blocked it. #mapoli

[Jonathan 'Boo and Vote' Cohn @JonathanCohn]

I voted yes on the five statewide ballot questions and hope you do too. #mapoli

Question 1: Auditing the Legislature

Beacon Hill is broken. We all know it. Their first step is admitting they have a problem, so they need understand the extent of the problem. Kudos to State Auditor @DianaDiZoglio for her advocacy for auditing the legislature.

[Jake Wilson @jake4somerville]

If you're voting in person on Election Day like me, hopefully you're well aware of the six ballots questions before voters in Somerville: five state ballot questions and one local one.

I'm encouraging Somervillians to vote Yes on all six.

A 🧵 on why:

[Sue O'Connell: COMMENTATOR, not a reporter @SueOC_NBCBoston]

There’s a lot that MA Ballot Question 1 won’t do if it’s passed by voters, but this is the type of audit that should be done annually.
MA is one of the least transparent govs and has one of the least effective legislatures in the country.

We want to know what you think: #Massachusetts Ballot Questions- Question 1, State Auditor’s Authority to Audit the Legislature

[Progressive Mass @ProgressiveMass]

Sunlight is the best disinfectant. @DianaDiZoglio explains why Question 1 will bring much needed transparency and accountability to the MA Legislature.
