Thank you, Senators Eldridge and Chang Diaz for the courage to talk about taxation in public

May 17, 2009 By AmberPaw

Today's Boston Globe contains an Op Ed written jointly by Senator Eldridge and Senator Chang-Diaz.  Their courage and straight talk makes me proud to be a democrat. Among other things, they point out that a 1% increase in the personal … [Read more...]

Never Say Die Dianne

September 22, 2008 By massmarrier

Tuesday Update: When the papers went in, Wilkerson had sought recounts in five Boston Wards in Roxbury and Central Dorchester. The Herald reports those are 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.  Her campaign cited voter complaints of uncounted ballots. … [Read more...]

Healing in Second Suffolk

September 19, 2008 By massmarrier

Wilkerson has long been confident to the point of being full of herself. A couple of weeks ago at the Wards 11 and 19 forum, she even said, "What we desperately need in this district is for you to elect more people to support me in what I … [Read more...]

Let’s Endorse Sonia

August 27, 2008 By Ryan

Wilkerson benefits from a powerful institutional support surrounding her candidacy, despite the fact that the insider support doesn't translate into popularity within the district. While the vast majority of BMG (including me) realize that … [Read more...]

Second Suffolk Figures, Hold the Salt

August 19, 2008 By massmarrier

That poll, Cohen says, was message testing, not voting. "It didn't have Sonia winning, but it did show that she could close the gap" that she started with as an unknown. Because Wilkerson hadn't bothered to collect the 300 … [Read more...]

Poll shows Chang-Diaz way ahead in Second Suffolk Senate race

August 18, 2008 By David

Conventional wisdom says Dianne Wilkerson is a long-time incumbent, and the only reason she nearly lost two years ago is that she failed to get her name on the ballot so had to run a write-in campaign.  Plus, she's got lots of powerful … [Read more...]

It’s Time for Wilkerson to Go

August 5, 2008 By Ryan

Yet, here we are, told to accept her because of her support on progressive issues. It's almost as if there's a super conservative running against her - and we're facing a choice between Dianne Wilkerson or Dick Cheney, but that's a false … [Read more...]

A huge pleasure to join @RepDylan as he launched the #Massachusetts Friends of UK Legislative Caucus at the home of the @FCDOPeterAbbott. It was wonderful to talk about how we can collaborate to benefit constituents and deepen long-standing ties! #mapoli

If you're familiar with #mapoli I have questions for you!

My intern is applying for an internship there - obvs I'm thrilled. 😊 What should she know about how the MA legislature is staffed? What other essential knowledge would you pass along?

It's April in #mapoli which means budget season is in full swing. The House will soon pitch a tax relief proposal alongside their 2024 fiscal plan.
