With @benjiwheeler.bsky.social at his victory party in East Somerville last night. I got to know Ben over the course of the campaign — and people who’ve known him for years kept telling me he’s the real deal! I was proud to endorse him and am excited to work with him on social housing and more! 🎉

Congratulations Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani — proud to campaign for you and meet with you in Queens last week. Congratulations to the democratic socialist movement and to the people of NYC. Let’s now make the affordability agenda happen not just in the Big Apple but everywhere in the USA.

Thank you as well to @aoc.bsky.social for being such an inspiration and such a fearless leader — and for allowing me to show off my Green New Deal tee shirt under my Tax The Rich sweatshirt! 🤣

Incredible weekend campaigning for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and the affordability agenda. Thank you, Zohran, for building the movement to make buses fast and free, to win universal childcare and a rent freeze — and for being a nice guy. This is the most hopeful moment since before the pandemic!

Clean Elections are at the core of our vision for leftist politics — so I was excited to testify this week before the Joint Committee on Election Laws in support of legislation I filed to allow for public financing of municipal elections. Thank you @votejivan.bsky.social for working with me on this.

We also got the state to initiate the design process for a second headhouse-entrance to the Assembly Orange Line station. All of this will complement major new upgrades to Draw 7 Park, currently under construction!

Tonight at 7 pm, MassDOT will host a virtual design public hearing to review the plans for the Mystic River Bicycle Pedestrian Bridge. I am very proud of the work we’ve done with my local colleagues to advocate for state funding to construct this bridge with a newly-designed 18-foot width.

Excellent Town Hall Meeting in Porter Square last night in support of making big corporations pay their fair share in taxes. As State Representative, I’m proud to always be on the forefront of efforts to #TaxTheRich and address today’s unprecedented wealth and income inequality.

In this moment where human rights organizations have concluded that Isreal is committing genocide in Palestine, hundreds of Somerville residents took to the streets this summer to gather over 11,000 signatures to put a non-binding advisory question on the November 4, 2025 municipal ballot.

I have long stood for the principle that the freedom to criticize governments must be protected, and that criticism of the Israeli government is not inherently antisemitic.
