Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating Eid al-Fitr!

Today was also Immigrant Advocacy Day at the State House where we met with constituents and discussed what Massachusetts can do to protect immigrants while our federal government fails us. @MIRACoalition

I’m excited to serve with Senator Howard as we continue to fight for the people of Massachusetts to combat the housing crisis, advance public health, increase school funding, promote affordability and good quality of life, and much more. (2/2)

Today, Senator Vanna Howard was sworn in as the newest member of the Massachusetts Senate! As a child, Senator Howard came to the United States as a refugee fleeing from the Cambodian genocide, and now she is the first Cambodian American state senator in the U.S. (1/2)

Next Thursday, the MA Senate will debate and vote on the PETS Act to combat animal cruelty in Massachusetts. The PETS Act includes a bill I filed to promote ethical pet sales which puts a stop to the cruel and inhumane “puppy mill” pipeline that ships pets into our state. (1/3)

This session, I began advocating for a bill to generationally phase out the sale of all nicotine and tobacco products in Massachusetts, which would restrict young people who are not currently old enough to legally buy these products from ever being able to purchase them. (4/5)

6 years ago, I helped lead the passage of landmark legislation to ban the sale of flavored nicotine and tobacco products to protect young people from nicotine addiction and to reduce chronic disease and smoking-related birth/pregnancy complications. (1/5)

I had a wonderful time meeting with a stellar group of early childhood and education policy fellows through the Rennie Center for Education Research & Policy to discuss how we research, draft, and implement education policy in Massachusetts.
