Community events – like this one in Groton to celebrate The Groton Center’s recent national accreditation – are also great opportunities to discuss business, like this impromptu conversation about rail trail improvements with Groton Select Board Chair Peter Cunningham.

A great start to the year Earlier this month, I was able to join Ms. Jackson and her class from North Middlesex Regional High School -- What great questions from our next generation of leaders. Thank you for visiting your State House and for engaging with me! @NMRHSpride

Happy New Year everyone! “If I Had One Wish …” That’s the name of the project I launched in December. The idea was to engage with students in the First Middlesex District to understand what is uppermost in their minds. [1/3] #mapoli

I was not looking for their Christmas or Hanukkah wish-list: I wanted them to tell me what one thing they would change, fix, start, become, etc. (wish for) in their community, their nation, or their world. [2/3] #mapoli

I just picked them up this morning – and look at all these ideas! Thank you, Lunenburg High School and North Middlesex Regional High School students: I can’t wait to read every one. Thank you to Mr. Stephenson, Ms. Chappelle, Ms. Foyle, and Mr. Sullivan for the partnership here!

Townsend is using $742,000 of American Rescue Plan funding to coordinate community service and wellness programs. It was great to join @RepScarsdale and hear from town officials about the impactful programs they’re launching to improve the lives of folks who live in Townsend. – at Townsend, MA

Well deserved @AnneGobi! A fierce champion for central and western MA and a tremendous choice by the @MassGovernor and @MassLtGov admin!
We created Massachusetts’ first-ever Director of Rural Affairs position to help us build an economy that booms from Williamstown to Wellfleet. Today, @MassLtGov and I are pleased to announce that Senator @AnneGobi is joining our administration in this brand-new role.

Today is #InternationalWomensDay, where we celebrate the accomplishments of women worldwide. In Massachusetts, with 63 female members comprising 31.5% of the legislature, we are making progress toward gender parity. I am proud to be the 233 woman to serve in the legislature!

Our first office hours have been a huge success! Thank you to everyone who came out and shared their ideas and concerns. We couldn’t have done it without the great assistance and support of the @GrotonLibraryMA , @lawrencelib, and @Townsendlib12. Community-building is powerful!
