I visited the woman who was the victim of an unprovoked assault. After talking directly w/ her, it’s clear this is a hate crime. I filed a res denouncing hate & violence against our AAPI community. There is no place for hate, discrimination, or violence against our AAPI neighbors

Instead of providing positive leadership to the residents of Boston, @BOSCityCouncil is more focused on politics as usual. Boston residents have lost faith and confidence in the city council. Residents deserve a city council body that demonstrates professionalism and integrity!

This weekend’s nor’easter is forecasted to bring high winds and heavy rain across the Northeast. We expect impacts to cruise ship schedules at Flynn Cruiseport, and encourage passengers to check with their cruise line for more information.

Honored to join South End residents, community partners and city officials for this morning’s South End Mayor’s Coffee Hour. I discussed the critical need to reopen the Blackstone Community Center pool. Proud to represent this diverse and compassionate neighborhood! #bospoli

Boston had its worst 3 years for housing since the Great Recession. Although we don’t control inflation & construction costs, we can temporarily lower our affordable housing from 20% back to 13%. We need to build more to get more affordable units. #bospoli bostonglobe.com/2026/09/24/b…

My statement on today’s hearing re the Blackstone Pool. It’s shameful the City chose not to attend & discuss why a swimming pool can’t get fixed in communities of color. It’s about social/economic/racial justice. We’ll hold a South End hearing so residents can be heard! #bospoli

Kristen and I enjoyed attending this morning’s gratitude breakfast hosted by Catholic Charities Labouré Center in South Boston. Thank you to this exceptional and compassionate nonprofit organization for your support to those most in need in society through life-changing programs!

TODAY: I am holding a 10 am hearing re prolonged closure of the Blackstone pool. It's about social, economic, and racial justice. Neighbors can testify in person/online by emailing meghan.kavanagh@boston.gov Watch the hearing live at the link below: boston.gov/city-council-tv

I had the opportunity to join Councilor Culpepper as an original sponsor of a resolution to suspend the gas tax in MA. This is about acknowledging MA residents are struggling pay their bills and doing something about it. Residents deserve relief. This is a positive step.

It was wonderful to attend tonight’s Annual Meeting sponsored by the Neighborhood Association of the Back Bay. I am honored to represent this historic neighborhood and its residents. Boston works best when we work together!

This morning, on site at Downtown Boston. I talked with police officers, residents, business owners, workers, social service providers and community partners. We discussed public safety and quality of life issues. I love Downtown Boston. I’m not giving up on this neighborhood!

Surveillance and advanced technology are important for any police department. However, what’s most important is having the correct number of police officers to effectively provide public safety. Additionally, Boston Police Officers are not supported by city politicians!

The @BOSCityCouncil hearing to discuss the Blackstone School swimming pool is tomorrow at 10:00am. However, even though the meeting was scheduled for almost a month, BPS stated they are now unable to participate due to a public event with the Red Sox. The meeting will go forward!

While there is no longer an MCAS graduation requirement, scores have failed to rebound to levels achieved prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. I called for an emergency hearing to find ways to improve. Education in the digital age is a challenge w/ cell phones, laptops & AI. #bospoli

Civics is an integral part of education & provides the knowledge to understand the responsibilities of all levels of government. W/ only 20% of BPS scores meeting expectations & kids on verge of graduating, it’s critical to discuss a full-year high school civics course #bospoli

We can't accept the status quo when it comes to low staffing levels @bostonpolice. Our officers are being asked to do more with fewer resources, while working mandatory overtime & 16 & 17 hr days. I filed a resolution in support of commission to hire & retain officers. #bospoli

LGBTQ+ veterans who served our country faced discrimination because of sexual orientation. @ClrHenrySantana & I called for a hearing on support for veterans who got an Other Than Honorable Discharge. We honor the courage & sacrifice of our LGBTQ+ veterans/service members #bospoli

Union Strong! It was an honor to join our hardworking Nurses and clinicians from @MassNurses on the picket line this morning to demand that Mass General/Brigham Hospital return to the bargaining table and reach a fair and equitable contract with the MNA. My thanks to @RepRichardNeal, @EdforBoston, Democratic nominee for Congress @dank, and MNA leadership for fighting for affordable and reliable health care for all.  Our nurses and clinicians are the heart and soul of our healthcare system - they are always there for us, and I’m proud to stand in solidarity with them!

A watchdog group asked state lawmakers to probe the head of the Department of Revenue after his refusal to investigate claims that the City of Boston inflated the assessed value, and taxes, of commercial properties that filed appeals. bostonherald.com/2026/09/23/…

Today, we honor our servicemembers and veterans and remember those we’ve lost to suicide. Asking for help takes strength. Let’s keep breaking down the stigma and make sure everyone who served knows they are not alone.
