Traveling Acts Bill

The passage of this bill continues our state's leadership on animal welfare issues, and will protect these elephants, big cats, giraffes and others from the hardships and adversity involved in traveling from place to place for shows. Importantly,  the bill preserves the opportunity for meaningful human interaction at facilities designed for that purpose on a permanent basis.

Thanks to the many stakeholders and legislators who have collaborated on the long legislative journey this bill has traveled to become law.

Newburyport Yankee Homecoming Parade

Once again, the Yankee Homecoming Parade provided a great opportunity to show the spirit of the Greater City of Newburyport Community, and bring to a close a week of wonderful events that were part of this annual tradition. I was honored to join with my colleagues in government to march in the parade and celebrate Yankee Homecoming with the huge crowd that came out on Sunday (8/4) afternoon.

Hamilton Military Service Day

Recently attended the 9th annual Military Service Day at the Patton Homestead in the Town of Hamilton.

The Patton Homestead in Hamilton, MA has been the past family home for over 90 years of General George S. Patton, WWII, his son General George Smith Patton IV, Korea, Vietnam, Black Horse Air Cavalry, and his wife Joanne Holbrook Patton, a pioneer Army Social Services innovator during the Vietnam War. She encouraged communities everywhere for decades to embrace military families.

Military Service Day is dedicated to the memory of Joanne Holbrook Patton who passed on Sunday, September 24, 2023 at the age of 92. Ms. Patton is additionally remembered for her advocacy for causes including cognitive and intellectual disabilities advancement for adults (CAST program), the arts, and theater, and environmental education across America. Her life epitomizes a life of patriotism and philanthropy.

Thank you to the AP Gardner American Legion Post, the Wenham Museum, the Massachusetts State Police, the Patton family and many others for putting on this great event to honor our veterans.
