We lost a good one this week. My father, Fred, passed away surrounded by family at the age of 90 and a half. Anchors aweigh Dad, until we meet again, wishing you a happy voyage home.
It’s time for a Commonwealth that works for and welcomes everyone – and for leaders who are prepared to make that happen. That is why I am proud to announce my candidacy for Lieutenant Governor.

Disrespectful + disgraceful that vandals would set a Boston ballot box on fire. Ballot boxes in Salem are using chemical fire suppressants inside the box to ensure ballots don’t go up in flames. Sad that we have to take these measures+appreciate the preparedness of our City Clerk
Breaking: Bill Galvin is asking the FBI to investigate what appears to be a deliberate fire set inside a ballot dropbox outside Boston Public Library around 4 a.m. this morning
I’m so deeply grateful for the opportunity I’ve had over these last 17 years, to help shape, improve, and lead this amazing community of Salem. And I’m so grateful for the support, collaboration, and friendship of so many of you in making that opportunity happen.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the support and friendship shown to me in this campaign. If you haven't cast your ballot yet it would be an honor to earn your vote by 8pm. Then join us at 8:30pm at Colonial Hall in Salem. Let’s make history, Massachusetts!
#mapoli
Head to the polls. Together, we’ll protect reproductive freedom, grow our economy, and make sure families everywhere can succeed, no matter your zip code.
I support putting in place a vax requirement for restaurants, gyms + entertainment venues and will be recommending to our Board of Health that we move in this direction. We need to use all the tools in our tool box to address the current COVID challenges.
Massachusetts faces challenges, but together we can take them head on.
Together, we can do what’s right, not what’s easy. We can serve as a beacon to everyone brave enough to believe in a better future.
Once again, let’s put Massachusetts at the forefront of history.
Definitely not a Charlie Brown tree! Shoutout to all our tireless helper elves who made sure the People’s State House shines this holiday season. Happy to celebrate our first official tree lighting!
Guess what's happening today?! Paving of the new multi-use bike path behind Canal St, along the rail line, that will help connect South Salem and SSU to downtown Salem and get you to and from downtown Marblehead all off road. Yippee! 🚴♂️🏃♀️👨🦽👩🦼🧑🦯
In Massachusetts, we don’t back down from a challenge, we step up. Proud of this amazing team that’s going to make sure we hit the ground running.
I ran for Lieutenant Governor to Get Stuff Done. That’s exactly what we’re going to do.
I’m a point guard, so I know that accomplishing great things takes a great team.
That’s why today I’m excited to announce our full Healey-Driscoll transition policy committees, which will make sure that our administration is ready to go on day one.
Come to Salem, but leave your car at home! We're working hard to make Salem a car light/car optional community. Check out the list of ways to get around without a 🚗👇
✅New off-street multi-use paths.
✅Public on-demand shuttle.

Best way to commute into Boston from Salem? 👇 Super pumped to be on the first ferry ride of the season on such a beautiful day! MBTA Zone 3 commuter passes are interchangeable for commuter times. Salem residents get a discount.

I'm excited to share this news with you! We are forming 6 new transition policy committees led by diverse, proven leaders who ensure that we hit the ground running on Day One.
Rideship is up 20%..that's a step in the right direction for combating traffic congestion, addressing climate change+ makes. transit more accessible ‘Just make it free’: Lawrence paid all the fares for three bus routes, and ridership is up via

I'm excited to announce that I am running for re-election, because we still have work to do and I firmly believe Salem needs experienced, capable leadership – now more than ever - as we work together to recover from this pandemic.
Thank you! Tonight, I am honored and excited that the voters of Salem gave a big stamp of approval on the direction our city is taking. I could not be more proud of the many accomplishments we've achieved - together - over the years, and now that work continues on!
Hallelujah! Salem City Council just voted 7-4 to adopt an Affordable Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance. Grateful to City Council members for their support. This is a step in the right direction to support our city's affordable housing needs.Thanx to all who supported this measure
My friend Dominick Pangallo has the skills and heart necessary to continue moving Salem forward. I couldn't be more thrilled for him tonight as he celebrates this hard-earned victory!
Happy

Massachusetts is a national leader on so many issues, but to maintain & grow our competitive edge, there is nothing more impactful than tackling affordability.
Right, will they ever learn some history? This situation is much different than the plight of the witch trial victims, who were convicted using spectral evidence + then brutally hanged or pressed to death. A dubious legal process that bears no relation to televised impeachment.
Thank you Salem! Grateful for a win in this Preliminary Election. Thanks to a fabulous group of volunteers, an outstanding campaign team and the many voters who helped us advance to the General Election! I appreciate your support and confidence.
Easy commute in to work on the Blue Line this morning with some North Shore/East Boston friends! While Sumner Tunnel is closed, FREE

A heartfelt thank you for all the kind messages I've received over the last few days about the passing of my Dad. I feel blessed to have had so many people reach out to offer support and expressions of condolences.
It's Primary Day - I'm sure all candidates are happy that today is Election Day. I am proud to support Joe Kennedy for Senate + hope all residents will get out to vote (if you have not already voted by early/by mail). If you need info on where to vote:

So happy to be able to be with my dad today to celebrate his 88th birthday! He's had a tough year, but we're enjoying lobster rolls and Guinness to ring in his big day. Can't keep a good guy down!
