Our Constituent Services Legislative Liaison Kristin
McDonald recently attended the Our Neighbors Table’s Annual Breakfast at the
Blue Ocean Music Hall.
Donors, sponsors, volunteers, local leaders, partners and
supporters from across the region joined together because “together, we’ll make
every table full.”
Congratulations to The Dolan-McDonald Family and SPS New
England for being the 2024 Community Champion Award winners!
Recently had the opportunity to speak to attendees at the

Officially presented the check for a local earmark I secured
in the FY25 Budget: $10,000 for the City of Gloucester, MA to be used for
Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs).

Mayor Greg Verga, City of Gloucester, members of City Council, Chief Eric Smith

Last night, I joined my colleague Sally Kerans for State
Representative for a situational progress update on the containment elements of

Department Chief LeColst, Massachusetts Deputy Chief Fire Warden of Forest Fire
Control Andy Regan, the North Shore Mutual Aid Fire Departments, and to the
Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency for their collaborative efforts with
a mutual aid response.
November is Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month - a time to
bring attention to one of the most challenging cancers affecting families
across our nation.
As we turn the month purple, we honor patients, survivors,
and the memories of those we have lost.
Join me in raising awareness, sharing this post, and
supporting the dedicated work towards a cure.
Let’s continue to fight for a future where no one faces
pancreatic cancer alone. 💜
I was proud to once again sponsor our annual Seafood Day at
the State House bringing together nearly 18 fishing organizations from across
the Commonwealth to celebrate the vital contributions of the seafood industry.
The event, co-hosted by the Massachusetts Fishermen’s
Partnership, Massachusetts Seafood Collaborative, and Fishing Partnership
Support Services, highlighted the industry's critical role in our state's
economy, food security, job creation, tourism, and the preservation of a
multigenerational way of life in coastal communities.
Legislators and their staff had the opportunity to sample
locally prepared seafood and learn why continued investment in this industry is
so important.
Great time had by all at the Harborlight Homes’ Annual
Journey Home 2024 Event!
