Great visiting Children First in Granby today w/ @MassGovernor's Western MA Director Kristen Elechko, @JakeForSenate, @MindyForMA & @Rep_Carey to learn how C3 grants & EEC's Career Pathways Program & Early Childhood Educators scholarship are helping kids, families & educators!
Thanks to everyone who came out to @BerkshireBrewCo for the Farm Aid Fundraiser! Our farmers & their families are just beginning to see the true extent of the damage inflicted by the extensive flooding. To donate directly to their rebuilding efforts, visit https://t.co/nScPUsl5jE
Taylor Swift performing in Massachusetts this weekend has created a lot of buzz about a bill, H.259, that I drafted last summer and filed in the House this session. @SenJohnVelis has filed a companion bill in the Senate.
An Act Ensuring Transparent Ticket Pricing would require ticket sellers to disclose the full ticket price at the outset of the transaction and stop additional fees from being added on as you move through the purchasing process.
@TheSwiftSociety I was proud to file the “Taylor Swift Bill” with @Rep_Carey and appreciate all the support!

Are you Ready For It? Taylor Swift hits the stage at Gillette tonight after ticket sale companies became the Anti-Hero to many fans this fall.
@Rep_Carey and I know All Too Well that MA should require more transparency in ticket pricing and fees.

Last night the Easthampton City Council recognized Easthampton High's "We The People" team at their meeting for once again winning the State Championship.
It was great to join the Council with @Rep_Carey and present citations to all of the students on their awesome achievements.
Fun day seeing @EasthamptonPK12 High School’s “We The People” Team prepare for their national competition with a mock hearing right here in the State House!
Afterwards @Rep_Carey and I showed the students around the building and took them into the @MA_Senate chamber as well.
Last night, we gathered at the Chicopee Moose Lodge for the 18th Annual Celebration of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Month.
Together we celebrated some terrific workforce heroes who have made an impact in the lives of community members with DD.
This session I’m honored to serve as Vice Chair of the House Committee on Post Audit and Oversight, as well as serving as a member of the Joint Committee on the Judiciary, the Joint Committee on Election Laws, and the Joint Committee on Environment & Natural Resources.

Congratulations to @EasthamptonPK12 High School's "We The People" Team on winning the state competition this Saturday at the @EMKInstitute in Boston.
It is always a blast visiting EHS to practice with the team and they continue to impress.
It was great to stop into the Easthampton Chamber of Commerce's annual meeting today with my good friend @Rep_Carey.
The policies made at the state level have a tremendous impact on our local economies and it was fantastic to meet some new business owners in our communities.
Proud and honored to be sworn in for the new session. Thank you to the people of South Hadley, Hadley, Granby and Easthampton for your continued support!
