To my constituents – I am here in Washington working for you.
Our offices in Washington D.C., Boston, Quincy, and Brockton are open and available to help you navigate this Federal Government Shutdown.
On November 1, federal funding for SNAP and LIHEAP runs out. Despite this, there are no Republicans to be found here in Washington.
Each year, I have the honor to nominate a select group of young men and women from the 8th Congressional District to four of our nation’s military service academies.

Last week, the courts blocked Trump’s attempt to illegally fire thousands of federal employees.
Republicans need to come to the bargaining table to reopen the government and stop with these political games. Federal workers and the American people deserve better.
Sincere thanks to Town Moderator Jason Ross for allowing me to address the Town Meeting to explain the difficult consequences of the Government Shutdown and alerting residents to the assistance that is available through our Congressional Offices in Brockton, Quincy, Boston, and Washington D.C.
Good turnout at West Bridgewater Special Town Meeting tonight!
@housedemocrats.bsky.social are here in Washington ready to negotiate a budget deal to reopen the government.
House Republicans need to come back to work on behalf of the American people.
It’s day 14 of the Federal Government Shutdown and I am here in Washington D.C. continuing to fight for you.
We are into the second week of the Federal Government Shutdown.
I will continue fighting to stop the disastrous cuts to Medicaid that fund our Hospitals, Nursing Homes, and Community Health Centers.

🚨Mark your calendar! I will be hosting our annual Service Academy Day for high school students interested in learning more about our nation’s service academies.

I explained why I cannot support Republicans’ massive cuts to Medicaid, which will have a severely damaging effect on all our hospitals, Community Health Centers, and nursing homes, including South Shore Hospital, Brockton Hospital, Good Samaritan Hospital, and Mass General Brigham.
Great to see a packed house at Avon Town Meeting last night.
Sincere thanks to Town Meeting Moderator Mike Nelson for allowing me to update residents on the impact of the Federal Government shutdown.
