Great story in @UMassLowell’s magazine about the tremendous opportunities being created with the Lowell Innovation Network Corridor – for students, for businesses and for our community. Proud to be a part of the team turning this project into a reality! uml.edu/magazine/sprin…

Too often, smaller towns like Ashby don’t get the funding they need for vital projects. I voted for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to start changing that. Proud to deliver the federal investments necessary to complete the Greenville & Turnpike Roads intersection – making the town safer by reducing traffic accidents!

Millions of people had their photos transferred to a facial recognition company without their knowledge or consent. The FTC's "enforcement" amount to a pinky promise not to do it again. I'm demanding answers.

Tomorrow is Tax Day, and Donald Trump’s inflation tax has been hitting hardworking families every day for the past year. Prices are up, jobs are down, and life is more expensive – with Trump’s war in Iran driving costs even higher.

As Republicans in Washington continue to cut Americans’ health care and make it harder for families to see a doctor, Massachusetts will continue to lead the way. 98% of residents have coverage, and leaders like @MassGovernor are committed to closing the gap and driving down costs.

Our seniors deserve affordable housing, and after more than a decade of planning, the Westminster Senior Residences is open. Proud to have secured the federal investments necessary to help get this development done! sentinelandenterprise.com/2026/04/10/tra…

Look, it would be easier for everyone if Donald Trump just released the Epstein Files like he said he would. Then accusations like these could be debunked immediately. whdh.com/news/melania-t…

Promises made, promises broken. Again. bostonglobe.com/2026/04/09/nat…

Proud to join Habitat for Humanity of Greater Lowell, YouthBuild and generous volunteers and donors yesterday for the Drew Farmhouse Barn fundraiser. Two new affordable homes. A historic barn preserved. And a community coming together to make it happen!

Another big step forward on the Rourke Bridge! This week, work began on the river, with crews building the foundation that will support the new bridge. It’s great to see progress on this long awaited project. lowellsun.com/2026/04/09/rou…

Trump keeps trying to go after Massachusetts. We keep beating him. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/tr…

Once again, Republicans in Congress rubberstamped Donald Trump’s war in Iran. Next, we’ll make them go on record with a War Powers vote. It’s time to put Americans first. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…

Last week, Trump said we couldn't help families with child care because of his war in Iran. Now that there's a ceasefire, will Republicans finally focus on working families here at home?

Outstanding news for @UMassLowell and students across the Commonwealth. UML is leading the way in expanding co-ops so more students graduate with real experience and a direct path to good-paying jobs. Great to see UMass Lowell leading the way! lowellsun.com/2026/04/06/gro…

Republicans passed Donald Trump’s One Big, Beautiful Bill to cut $186 BILLION in food assistance for hungry families, including many here in Massachusetts. Now, Trump’s war in Iran is making it even harder to put food on the table. A devastating one-two punch.

Donald Trump brought us to the brink, and this is what we’re calling a “win”? Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz, and Ayatollah Khomeini was replaced with… Ayatollah Khomeini, as the same regime remains in power. I’ve heard from hundreds of concerned, scared constituents over the past 24 hours. Families already struggling with rising costs driven by tariffs and this war of choice put everything else aside because they feared something even worse: a path toward World War III. Why are American families being told their government cannot help them afford groceries or child care because a foreign war that changed nothing is more important? What happens at the end of this 14-day “deal”? What happened to America First? Americans are losing trust in this President’s ability to make decisions that put their security, their finances, and their future first.

Since the day I took office, I pledged to work with local, state and federal partners to replace Haverhill’s Basiliere Bridge. Today, we broke ground on the Basiliere Bridge replacement project – made possible by $190 MILLION from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law!
