Sheila Dibb will qualify for the State Senate general election against Peter Durant. First returns from Worcester have 342 Dem write-ins for with 4 of 6 precincts reporting. In fact, she’s *beating* Durant in Worcester; he only has 293 votes on GOP side.

It is beyond frustrating that after years of advocacy by myself and others to bring Worcester's juvenile court a sixth judge, the court has transferred one of those judges away from Worcester. (Worcester has the most care & protection cases in the state) telegram.com/story/news/loca…?

It's an affront to children and families of Central MA. I was grateful for the Governor’s partnership to make Worcester juvenile one of the administrations’s first judicial appointments, and I will be fighting to ensure that the newest vacancy is filled expediently, as well.

I will continue to remind the courts and Beacon Hill that the state does not end at 128. Here in the second largest city in New England, we deserve a justice system that is equipped to serve our residents, especially our children.

Great afternoon to join @worcester_pride to raise the Pride flag at Worcester City Hall. Protecting LGBTQ rights is yet another reason why #judgesmatter

✅ Pardoning marijuana convictions that create barriers for employment, education, and housing…. ✅ Most diverse judiciary in Massachusetts history…. – at Leominster, MA

✅ A revival of clemency, but only where warranted- I successfully led the defeat of a politically motivated pardon in 2022, and advocated for the first (deserved) commutations in decades – at Leominster, MA

Years ago voters decriminalized cannabis, but people with past convictions continue to face barriers to education and employment. A blanket pardon will not only eliminate those barriers, but redress a system that disproportionately impacted Black and Latino communities.

1/2: Why the double standard? Rarely does #mapoli pay attention to Governor's Council, so I was disappointed by the sensationalized coverage of Gabrielle Wolohojian's confirmation to the SJC.

2/2 Because, seriously, are we now policing women's PAST relationships to keep them from seats of power?
