Veterans Day holds a special place in my heart, as I come from a long line of service members myself. Growing up with a mother in the military — someone who dedicated her life to serving her country —

Remembering Setti Warren, a veteran, advocate, bridgebuilder, and the first Black mayor to serve in Massachusetts. His leadership was rooted in service, his advocacy centered on people, and his presence opened doors for so many to follow.

Last week I spoke about the Commonwealth being called to act to protect our most vulnerable. I hope that the federal government will act and use contingency funds, but if not, we must be prepared to protect our own.
