Great reception in Chicopee for my friend Jake Oliveira. Jake has been a fantastic partner as State Rep and will be a truly great and effective State Senator. Thank you @RepPaulMark for organizing Saturday’s “colleague canvass.” (It was fun introducing you to Chicken Queen!)

I joined a letter written by @SenMikeMoore and @Orlando_Ramos expressing concern to the DPU about the increase in energy rate that is expected to impact residents. With winter coming up fast, it's more than just an affordability concern – it's a public safety concern!

Dear Friends, I'm voting for State Senator Eric Lesser for Lieutenant Governor in the upcoming Democratic primary on September 6th, and I wanted to tell you why! - Eric is the only candidate with federal experience. He got his start in the Obama White House, working for David Axelrod and the Council of Economic Advisers. As LG, he'll be ready to work with Washington to secure federal funding and protect our rights. - Eric is the only statewide candidate from Central or Western Mass. He has spent years representing Western Mass in the State Senate, and he'll be a champion for all of our state's forgotten corners. - Eric is the best candidate to work for Maura Healey -- he already has! They collaborated to lower the price of the lifesaving opioid drug Narcan and create a Student Loan Bill of Rights. When Maura Healey becomes Governor, Eric will be the lieutenant she needs. Learn more about Eric at ericlesser.com. Photos show Eric + family, Eric + Barack Obama, and Eric + a supporter.

“Lesser’s roots in Greater Springfield are not the only reason he rates this support. The four-time state senator has credibility in ... transportation, housing, child care, education, workforce development and ... mental health. Through his work in the Obama administration, Lesser has experience at the federal level... He would, therefore, provide a crucial partner to Maura T. Healey.”
