🇺🇸🇺🇸 Spent the day with veterans in Walpole and Norwood. I was honored to hear the stories of their service in Vietnam, Germany, Korea, Saudi Arabia, and local bases, and listened to their concerns about the economy, particularly the cost of housing and the challenges in our schools.

Beautiful weather for JP’s Open Street. Had a great time talking to community members about the issues top of mind--from the challenge of finding quality affordable childcare, to the threats to our democracy, to lego struggles. I’m running to bring all these voices to the state house.

Have your health care costs gone up last year?? Been denied coverage for medication or care?
🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
Meanwhile, the health care industry is spending more than ever on lobbyists.
That’s why we need leaders who will stand up to corporate interests and fight for families—not billionaires.
