MY LEGISLATION
It’s an honor to serve the 18 towns of the 3rd Berkshire District and represent your voice at the State House. In my first legislative session, the 194th General Court of the state of Massachusetts, I sponsored more than 30 bills to turn challenges into opportunities for our district and rural communities. Below are summaries of a selection of my bills; click the bill numbers for more details on their progress.
