The @MA_Senate’s work today is history tomorrow.
We can change lives.
We can change Massachusetts.
We can change the world for the better.
Thank you for standing with me, and for placing your faith in me. It's been a true privilege and honor to lead this body. #mapoli
Congratulations @robyn4senate on a hard fought win!
Over the coming weeks I will do all that I can to make sure Robyn is elected in November. I look forward to working with her to ensure a smooth transition for the First #Worcester District.

Robyn Kennedy has won the Democratic primary for Worcester’s 1st District State Senate seat. She beat Worcester Mayor Joe Petty, who just conceded @GBHNews.
The fight for reproductive justice will continue long after I have left office, and I am grateful for my Massachusetts Senate colleagues who will carry on this fight.
You are all on the frontlines. We are counting on you. #mapoli#roevwade
Today, in response to the US Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v Wade, I signed an executive order to protect access to reproductive health care services in the Commonwealth.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court just reversed nearly 50 years of precedent and overturned Roe v. Wade, ending the federal constitutional right to abortion.
We won't deny what a horrible moment this is.
Half of the states are expected to ban abortion.
Sen. Harriette Chandler calls this a "brilliant" amendment: "We have a right, we have a responsibility to safeguard the people who not only get their care in Massachusetts, but those who give that care in Massachusetts. We’ve always done that, and that’s what we’re doing again."
