State Rep for MA #32Middlesex (Melrose, Wakefield, & Malden). Wahoowah.

Starting the new year by stepping away from X — the algorithm’s incendiary & irrelevant alerts (among other things) aren't my vibe. You can still find me on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, & IRL. Here’s to healthier connections in 2025!

Yesterday, I took the oath of office & was sworn in for a third full term as #32Middlesex State Rep serving Melrose, Wakefield, & Malden - an immeasurable honor. I am grateful for your continued trust in me. I'm excited to continue to work for and with you this session! #mapoli

Last week, Governor signed H4743 into law to address ongoing opioid epidemic with provisions to decrease overdose fatalities + diminish barriers & increase access to recovery resources. I was proud to vote for the bill earlier this year. More - https://t.co/iLvCvLm1eX. #mapoli

Last month, Governor signed my bill to empower state & local candidates to use campaign funds for childcare during campaign activities. That very evening, I was thrilled to put the new law to use. Thank you, Grace, for watching the boys during my #32Middlesex event! #mapoli
