Fact: For the last three decades, the hepatitis B vaccine has reduced pediatric infection rates by 99% nationwide. No matter what RFK Jr. is doing in Washington, here in Massachusetts we're going to follow the science and make sure that Massachusetts residents have access to lifesaving vaccines.

Students in every state are struggling right now — and too often, the response is to lower expectations.
But in Massachusetts, we’re working with teachers, school leaders, and parents on a new framework for graduates that makes our first-in-the-nation public education stronger.

Massachusetts and communities across the country are facing a housing crisis.
Instead of offering support, the federal government is placing unlawful conditions on permanent housing and project renewals that our most vulnerable residents rely on to survive. We're suing.
