High-quality, accessible, and affordable #earlyeducation is the foundation for success. Not only for our families, but for the entire state! I am so thankful for Sen. Spilka and @SenJasonLewis for bringing this comprehensive package to the table. – at Boston, MA

.@SenJasonLewis: "I really appreciate the contribution of this report. It helps to significantly strengthen the already-strong case for the need to take legislative action. We need to do more and that’s exactly where the #EducatorDiversityAct comes in." #MAPoli

“Increasing the minimum wage to $15/hr has had a tremendously positive impact...However, due to high inflation, the buying power of $15 has been significantly eroded. This is why we need to start phasing in another increase.” - @SenJasonLewis
We agree! It's #Timefor20!

(1/2) This morning, @BrianArrigoDCR helped kick off the BeKind! Campaign with the Friends of Middlesex Fells Reservation, @FriendBlueHills @repdonato and @SenJasonLewis. BeKind! encourages everyone visiting our state parks to act with kindness toward all. 🌳🏕️🥾

We're live-tweeting today's hearing on legislation to raise the minimum wage to $20 per hour.
Lead sponsor @SenJasonLewis explained that, although we now have the $15 minimum wage passed in 2018, $15 has lost a lot of purchasing power due to rising prices. #mapoli #Timefor20

On Wednesday, @SenJasonLewis and his staff organized a hike by the Middlesex Fells Caucus to Bear Hill Tower in the Fells. We talked with several @DCR staff and members of @FellsFriends as well as Winchester's Sustainability Director Ken Pruitt about the needs of the park.

ALT AN ACT TO MODERNIZE PARTICIPATION IN PUBLIC MEETINGS. Sponsored by Rep. Denise Garlick & Sen. Jason Lewis. "The fundamental aim of this legislation: to invest in our government and in our communities. If we’re committed to democracy, equity, and inclusion, we can't afford not to."

I’m grateful for the swift and coordinated action of @BostonFire, @MassStatePolice, and @MassDCR Rangers in response to the electrical fire in the basement of the State House today. Thank you for quickly evacuating the building and keeping officials, staff, and visitors safe. If you’re in the area, please continue to avoid the scene and follow the directions of public safety officials.

"The Educator Diversity Act is designed to remove the most persistent barriers that get in the way of having a diverse educator workforce. Massachusetts has an opportunity to pass model legislation for how states can prioritize & invest in diverse educators" @AmanFernan24

Thank you to the 33 senators who voted for @SenJasonLewis's amendment to close the joint filing loophole and protect the revenue raised by Fair Share! #mapoli
📣📣The MA Senate is voting on its tax package this Thursday. Contact your state senator about closing tax loopholes. #mapoli

Amendment from @SenJasonLewis to the tax bill would close the expensive tax loophole that will otherwise lose as much as 20% of Fair Share Amendment revenue. The change just requires consistency between federal & state tax filings. #mapoli Read our report: buff.ly/42S0wnq

“I don’t think any of us can think of any issues more important than kids who are hungry. I’m very hopeful and optimistic that our final budget will include Universal School Meals” - @SenJasonLewis
