Excited to be working with @YWBoston @TeamTram and @dfshand on the rewritten and refiled #ParityonBoards bill alongside @LizForBoston! Passing this bill would be one step closer to equitable representation in our state! #mapoli #pob

Tram T. Nguyen @TeamTram

Such a pleasure getting to know Rep @dfshand today. It's wonderful that the @MAWomensCaucus started a mentoring program for new women legislators; I got to share my insights and answer questions. I especially look forward to working with Rep Shand on our Parity on Boards bill.

Likewise—Boston's BACKROOM plans to revitalize #DowntownBoston is also an effort to BAILOUT rich developer$ stuck with empty office buildings MASKED as an opportunity for #AffordableHousing. Watch what they do, NOT what they say they're going to do!
