Thank you to Senator Ed Markey for the opportunity to have this important discussion. I’m thrilled that Bay Staters have a partner on Capitol Hill who understands both the potential and the risks of unchecked AI development.

As part of NCSL's Al Day on Capitol Hill, our delegation advocated for a framework that recognizes state legislatures as partners in the responsible development of Al — and warned against the reintroduction of a misguided state Al moratorium like the one in the original ‘Big Beautiful Bill’.

The rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution are non-negotiable – the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will not let our Guard be illegally used against our own people. (3/3)

My amendment to a recent bill is simple: by creating a comprehensive training curriculum for service members, Massachusetts is empowering our National Guard with the knowledge they need to determine, in the event that they are federalized, whether the orders they receive are lawful. (2/3)

Boston, Cambridge, and Providence already have similar plans, and this ordinance was unanimously passed by the City Council — now I'm working with my colleagues on Beacon Hill to get it signed into law.

I'm working with Mayor Petty, Councilor Mero-Carlson, and Representative O'Day to implement an Institutional Master Plan ordinance in Worcester to require large organizations like colleges and universities to submit long-term plans and work with their neighbors to ensure their growth is sustainable.

Every worker should have a seat at the table, including right here on Beacon Hill. I am so thrilled to have had two of my former Chiefs of Staff lead this movement — Shelly MacNeill and Morgan Simko — and it was an honor to testify alongside them today, along with my friend Senator Jamie Eldridge.

While a majority of Senate Staff have signed union cards, law does not explicitly allow them to unionize. Staff are responsible for so much of the day-to-day operations of the State House, including working constituent services, ironing out the details of legislation, updating social media, & more.

Thank you to everyone who came out today, to my friend Rep Hawkins, and to Falco, a Red-tailed Hawk anticoagulant rodenticide survivor rescued by the New England Wildlife Center who joined us on the State House steps!

We know how to control rats and mice without the use of anticoagulant rodenticides — it's time to create regulations that reserve these powerful poisons only as a last resort.
