When I first ran for Congress in 2018, pundits and pollsters alike said I didn’t have a chance. The closest poll said we were going to lose by 20 points.
But 60,046 voters went to the ballot box, colored in that little circle next to my name and put their hope and trust in us that our government could do more and do better. We campaigned on a new kind of politics — one about transformation, not transaction.
We won by a decisive 16 points.
Three terms in, it is still an honor and a privilege to be your Congresswoman. Together we have made real tangible change — canceling student debt, fighting for environmental justice, supporting mutual aid, and organizing to restore and protect abortion access.
Our next primary election is less than a week from today. Election cycle pundits and pollsters have been down and out about Democrats, progressives, and our movement this cycle. But you and I know that the power of the people has always been greater than the people in power.

We take nothing for granted and we organize daily to build community in the Massachusetts 7th district, to fight for our fundamental rights, and to build a more just world together.
Whether we’re up against millions of Republican dark money dollars pouring into House elections to dissuade voters, or bad weather that makes it hard for our neighbors to get to their polling place, we take on each challenge with conviction and strategy.
That strategy takes real resources — and this campaign truly operates with the $3, $5, and $20 donations we receive from these emails.
Grateful everyday for your partnership and your faith in me.
With gratitude,
