Working for You

Since 2019 I have delivered:

$1.2 billion for advanced manufacturing in the district, GE Lynn + workforce training for women and people of color.
$3 million back to constituents
$28 million in COVID relief for Massachusetts fishermen
$16 million for COVID testing in Massachusetts
$6 million for dredging Annisquam River, plus a 10% increase in the Water Resources Development Act for the funding of dredging small harbors and waterways.
$4 million to combat homelessness
$35.8M in opioid response grants
$520 thousand in PPE for Massachusetts Fire Departments
16 Town Halls

Coronavirus:

We acted very quickly to begin providing clear resources and guidance to our constituents. We shut down our offices and created a plan. We began sending a weekly email to 200k people with vital information.
The most important thing we have been doing is our constituent services here on the ground.
During this crisis, I have talked to mayors, fire responders, local businesses to make sure they have the guidance and the resources they need, including PPE that we knew wasn’t coming from the federal government.
I had a conversation with Gov. Baker to establish the first COVID-only hospital in America.
I assembled an all-star COVID task force of experts who have been regularly advising me throughout this crisis.
I’ve pushed Congress to respond:
- As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I received some of the earliest briefings and knew we needed to act quickly. I received some pushback back then that I was overreacting, but of course it’s been even worse than our worst expectations.
- I have helped write legislation to deliver trillions of dollars, including to save small businesses.
I worked to get grocery store workers and transportation workers designated as emergency personnel to secure PPE and priority COVID testing.
