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.

No coincidence, historically, big developers are always the biggest money contributors to campaigns of Boston's incumbent mayors. That HASN’T changed — Boston's perfected the art of not changing. #BostonNeverGetsOld

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!
