The Mass Ready Act is a down payment on our future! 🌱✨ Tom O'Shea O'Shea was pleased to join Lt. Governor Kim Driscoll + Rebecca Tepper in support of this historic investment in nature for wildlife + people.

We all have a part to play in the fight against hunger. Each week, volunteers at Family Pantry of Cape Cod shop for 800 families who need fresh, healthy food. While Trump cuts food assistance, I just created the first statewide task force to end hunger in Massachusetts.

Grateful to the team of MassDCR and Massachusetts Dept. of Fish & Game firefighters who've been battling wildfires in Alaska. You are the best of the best — glad you're all home safe.
