Honoring Newburyports 2026 Asset Awards Recipients

I was honored to join Newburyport Recreation and Youth Services at their 2026 Asset Awards Celebration and to present official Massachusetts Senate Citations to this year’s outstanding award recipients.

This special evening recognized individuals who exemplify the values, leadership, and character that help our young people thrive. It was inspiring to celebrate those who make such a meaningful impact in the Newburyport community and to acknowledge their contributions on behalf of the Senate.

It was an honor to join my legislative colleagues, Senator Barry Finegold, MA State Rep. Tram T. Nguyen, and State Representative Adrianne Ramos along with local leaders and residents at Veterans Memorial Park in North Andover for an earmark presentation supporting a new war memorial dedicated to those who have served in recent conflicts.

This important investment will ensure that the service and sacrifice of these brave men and women are recognized and remembered for generations to come. I’m grateful to stand with Director Veteran Services Joseph LeBlanc, Town Manager Melissa Rodrigues, representatives from the Town Manager’s Office, Moderator Mark DiSalvo, and the North Andover community in advancing this meaningful project.

Thank you to all who continue to work to honor our veterans and preserve their legacy.
