After almost 12 years of proudly representing the Fifth Middlesex District, I have made the difficult decision not to run for re-election to the state Senate this year. Please read the slides in this this tweet thread for my full statement. (1/2)

Thank you to Senator Warren and Senator Markey for speaking out against this provision and for working to hopefully remove it in the Senate soon. @SenWarren @SenMarkey We must continue fighting for animal welfare protections in Massachusetts and across the country! (4/4)

The powerful pork lobby persuaded Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives to include a provision in the federal “Farm Bill” which would overrule Massachusetts voters and bring this animal cruelty back to our state. (3/4)

In 2016, I was proud to help lead the effort to require basic, minimum humane standards to allow farm animals to have enough space to stand up and fully extend their limbs, which the voters of Massachusetts overwhelmingly voted for. (1/4)

Next week, the Massachusetts Senate will debate, amend, and vote on our Fiscal Year 2027 state budget. Our proposal does not include any new taxes or fees and responsibly invests in education, housing, healthcare, municipal aid, and more. (1/5)
