Thank you to Senator John Keenan for nominating me as a 2026 Commonwealth Pride Award Recipient. Held by the Massachusetts LGBTQ+ Legislative Caucus, over 100 local leaders were recognized yesterday for championing the LGBTQ+ Community in their respective cities, towns and districts.

As I prepare to step down after almost 10 years leading Quincy Pride, this is timely and very meaningful to me. Honored to be thought of for this inaugural event. It was great to see so many familiar, friendly faces "On the Hill."

Congratulations to everyone! 🏳️‍🌈

Honored to attend the Dedication of the John P. "Jake" Comer Veterans Services Office this morning. Mr. Comer's resume is both impressive and lengthy. He was recognized for his decades of service to our country including during the Korean War, and afterwards representing the American Legion.

Jake ended his remarks today with a reworking of a Confucius quote (that I will now never forget): "When you hear something, you forget it. When you see something, you remember. When you do, you understand."

We are lucky to say he is from Quincy, and I especially lucky to say from the "Point." It is never lost on me that I get to be in these rooms with so many great families I have the pleasure of representing.

Congratulations, Mr. Comer! 🇺🇸
