December 12, 2008 By akingsley 29 Comments

Something to pay attention to this general election.

September 10, 2008 By cambridge_paul Leave a Comment

And that would be the lack of attention that Massachusetts will be receiving and another reminder that it's imperative we pass National Popular Vote legislation the next session which begins in January. I thought today would be the … [Read more...]

I'm a firm believer in data collection. I said it about #HandFreeBill b4 @RepChynahTyler sold us out to nativist House/Baker. Then, yrs later, SJC agreed bill was useless w/o data collection. As for a city race commission—to do what? Tell us Boston is racist?!🙄🤦🏾‍♂️#BOSpoli #MApoli

MA is in the top 10 states for gun manufacturers. These merchants of death need to be shut down. I do not want to live in a state that benefits from the 40k people killed with fire arms each year. #MApoli

Enjoyed chatting this morning with Bill Newman on @WHMP about the LG’s race & issues impacting Western MA. We can’t be a thriving Commonwealth without vibrant cities & towns. I’m excited to leverage strong municipal experience to assist underserved communities across MA. #mapoli
